Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 large leeks, halved, washed and finely sliced
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1.5 litres low-salt chicken stock
100g risotto rice
300g leftover roast chicken, shredded and skin removed
2 eggs, whisked
2 lemons, juiced
¼ pack dill, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and celery, and fry for 8-10 mins until softened. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to the boil, add the rice and chicken, turn down the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 mins until the rice is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  • Take off the heat and leave to cool slightly for 10-15 mins (so the eggs don't scramble), and rapidly whisk in the eggs and lemon juice until the mixture looks creamy. Serve in bowls and top with dill, if you like.

Tips for Making Chicken Risoni and Lemon Soup:

  • Use high-quality chicken broth for the best flavor. If you have time, you can make your own chicken broth. Store-bought chicken broth is also fine.
  • If you can't find risoni pasta, you can use orzo pasta or small pasta shells.
  • Don't overcook the risoni pasta. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the soup. Be sure to zest the lemon before juicing it.
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or cilantro, add a fresh, flavorful touch to the soup. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Serve the soup with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Chicken risoni and lemon soup is a delicious, easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The soup is light and flavorful, with a bright, citrusy flavor from the lemon. The risoni pasta adds a nice texture to the soup, and the fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese add a touch of elegance.
