Try Greek Lemon Chicken Soup (Avgolemono)... it's easy enough to make,
but you do need to temper the egg.

You'll find a couple of other soup recipes there too.

Is pasta e fagioli (soup) too lumpy? How about Zuppa Toscana? It has
Italian sausage, potatoes, greens (chard, spinach or kale) and is
thickened with heavy cream. What's not to like? Another delicious
one that might be too lumpy is Caldo Verde. It's very easy to make:
Portuguese sausage (linguica), potatoes and kale. Have you considered
onion soup.... take "French" onion soup and leave the cheesy croutons
off. The hardest part about it is caramelizing the onions, but all it
takes is patience.
