Years ago, I fell hard for a lemony Greek soup at Panera Bread. It was just a special back then, but I re-created it at home so we could eat it whenever a craving hit! -Kristin Cherry, Bothell, Washington

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH CELERY, PARSLEY AND LEMON



Chicken and Rice Soup With Celery, Parsley and Lemon image

This soup is simultaneously cozy and fresh. It's just the kind of thing you want to eat when you're sick and seeking something that'll perk you up and get you through it. The soup simmers long enough for the rice to start to break down so it thickens the soup. If you prefer a brothier soup that's predominantly chicken and rice floating in broth, cook just until the rice is tender. Or if you want thick porridge, just keep simmering. (You can't really overcook chicken thighs.) Lemon juice adds brightness, as does the lively mix of parsley, lemon, garlic and celery leaves strewn on top.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups chicken broth
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 stalks celery, leaves reserved and stalks thinly sliced
3/4 cup jasmine rice (unrinsed)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest plus up to 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1 small garlic clove
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine the broth, chicken, celery and rice. Season lightly with salt. (Some broths have more salt than others, so start easy.) Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the rice starts to break down and lose its shape, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop together the parsley leaves, lemon zest and up to 1/2 cup celery leaves. Transfer to a small bowl, grate the garlic clove into the bowl, season with salt and stir to combine.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a medium bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces, then stir it back into the soup. Remove from heat, stir in the butter (if using), and season to taste with salt. Stir in the lemon juice a little at a time until the soup is bright but still tastes like chicken. (You may not use the full 1/2 cup juice.)
  • Divide the soup among bowls and top with the parsley-lemon mixture. (The soup, minus the lemon juice and parsley mixture, can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the rice will absorb liquid as it sits, so add more chicken broth when reheating. Add the lemon juice and fresh herb garnish just before serving.)

CHICKEN LEMON SOUP W/RICE AND VEGETABLES



Chicken Lemon Soup W/Rice and Vegetables image

Very refreshing soup that can be served even in the summer. You can add more vegetables according to taste. I like to roast the chicken breast on a pan before adding to the soup, as I find it adds a bit more flavour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your soup will be. Choose organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough space for them to move around and cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the ingredients will steam instead of sautéing and the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil or butter before adding them to the soup helps to bring out their flavor and color. This step is especially important for vegetables like carrots and celery, which can be bland if they are not cooked properly.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor. Avoid using bouillon cubes or canned broth, which can be salty and artificial-tasting.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice until the soup is flavorful and balanced.

Conclusion:

Chicken lemon soup with rice and vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and comforting chicken lemon soup that your whole family will love.
