Lemon Rosemary Chicken Soup: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach or kale
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside to cool.
  2. In the same pot, add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. While the broth heats, shred the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  5. Once the broth is boiling, add the shredded chicken, chopped spinach or kale, rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. If desired, serve the soup with cooked rice or noodles for added heartiness.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
  • This soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
