@arecipe.bsky.social

Cream and a little lemon juice and zest help kick up the flavor of ordinary chicken soup!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 4 ribs celery, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 12 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 5 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ large carrot, finely diced
  • 3 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and a pinch of salt, and cook until onion is translucent. Avoid browning if you wish to keep the soup lighter in color.
  2. 2
    Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook 30 minutes.
  3. 3
    Remove herbs (if you wish) and check for taste. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
