First soup is my personal favorite, Chicken Lemon Vegetable! I literally made it twice this week. It’s healthy, it’s filling, and I just can’t get over the taste!
Here’s what you need:
chicken broth
Shredded rotisserie chicken
3 tablespoon olive oil
garlic, minced
1 onion
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
celery
carrots
zucchini
rosemary
sea salt and pepper
Directions: Place the olive oil in a large sauce pot over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, saute the diced onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes to soften.
Add the chicken stock, rosemary, carrots, zucchini, and celery. Raise the heat to high, cover, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, then simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice of lemon, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer another 5 minutes.
Take your shredded chicken and add in the pot. Stir in shredded basil. Taste and salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
