Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1 tablespoon chopped
3 sprigs fresh tarragon, plus 1 tablespoon chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
3 long strips lemon zest
4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
4 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned or homemade
1 bunch medium asparagus, thick ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch segments
1/3 cup fresh or frozen peas
5 medium shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

Steps:

  • Tie the parsley, tarragon, and thyme sprigs and bay leaf together with kitchen twine and put in a large saucepan with the onion, carrot, celery, lemon zest, and chicken breasts. Cover with the broth, bring just to a boil over high heat, skim off any foam that comes to the surface. Adjust the heat to very low and cover. Cook the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken to a platter, when cool enough to handle and pull into large strips; discard the bones.
  • When ready to serve, add the asparagus, peas, and mushrooms to the broth. Cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 to 5 minutes, and remove herb bundle. Return chicken to the broth and warm through.
  • Divide chicken between 4 large soup bowls and ladle some broth and vegetables into each bowl. Garnish each soup with the chopped parsley and tarragon. Serve.

I'm not a big fan of chicken soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and delicious. I'll definitely be making it again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very budget-friendly recipe.

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I've already had several people ask me for the recipe.

This soup was a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out way too salty. I had to throw the whole thing out.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with a little more seasoning.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I made this soup last night and it turned out great! The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very comforting. I especially liked the addition of the spring vegetables, which gave the soup a nice brightness.
