SLOW COOKER CREAMY CHICKEN SOUP WITH LEMON, RICE AND DILL



Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Soup With Lemon, Rice and Dill image

This lightly creamy and incredibly comforting soup is all about the almost-austere interplay of chicken, broth, white rice and lemon. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice: Any variety will work. Tempering the yolks (slowly whisking hot broth into them) ensures that they will emulsify and thicken the soup, and not scramble. Use a half cup of lemon juice for an assertively tart soup, but, for a gentler effect, use the smaller amount. If you prefer, you can use an equivalent weight of chicken legs instead of thighs.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, peeled, trimmed and halved
2 celery stalks, halved
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bay leaf
3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
6 cups chicken broth or stock
Black pepper
Kosher salt
2 cups cooked white rice
1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons), more as needed
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sour cream
1 small bunch dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaf in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Pull the skin off half of the thighs and discard it (or save to render the fat at another time). Add the chicken to the slow cooker and top with broth. Season generously with pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if you are using low-sodium broth or 1 teaspoon salt if using homemade unsalted stock. (Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth.) Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. If it's more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about another 2 hours before the chicken starts to dry out.
  • With a spoon or ladle, skim and discard any obvious foam and fat from the top of the soup. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl and strain the broth. Discard the vegetables (or if they still have flavor, set them aside for a snack) and let the chicken cool while you finish the soup. Return the broth to the slow cooker, and switch the heat to high. Stir in the rice, cover and let the soup heat up until it is at least steaming hot, or bubbling a bit around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, egg yolks and sour cream in a medium bowl until creamy and combined. Dip a liquid measuring cup into the hot broth. While whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle about 2 cups of hot broth into the lemon juice mixture until fully combined and smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the rest of the soup and whisk for another minute or so, until the soup starts to thicken enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. Coarsely shred the chicken meat and add it into the soup, discarding the bones and skin. Stir in the dill and taste the soup. Add salt if necessary, and more lemon juice and black pepper if you like. If the soup isn't hot enough, cover and let heat on high for another 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken properly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and thyme, add a bright, flavorful touch to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Dill chicken and rice is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tender chicken, fluffy rice, and fresh herbs, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
