Sicilian Chicken Soup image

A hearty spicy full bodied chicken noodle soup, perfect for cold nights, or people with colds! This recipe was inspired by Carrabas Mama Mandola's Sicilian Chicken Soup. My friend and I absolutely love it, but we live too far away from a Carrabas to have it more than once a year or so. We tried other "copycat" recipes we found online, but none of them were even close. So through trial and error we created this recipe. Hope you enjoy it and we'd love to hear what you think!

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I didn't even notice it in this soup. The flavors were so well-balanced.

This soup was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

This soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I especially loved the addition of the lemon zest and oregano, which gave the soup a bright and refreshing flavor.
