Description:
A bright chicken and rice soup with lemon, dill, tender vegetables, and a silky broth that feels comforting but not heavy.
Ingredients:
- 1.25 Pound chicken thighs
- 1.00 Tablespoon olive oil
- 0.33 Cup lemon juice
- 1.00 Cup yellow onion
- 0.75 Cup long-grain white rice
- 7.00 Cup chicken broth
- 1.00 Cup carrot
- 2.00 Piece eggs
- 1.00 Cup celery
- 0.25 Cup dill
Instructions:
- Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook for 6 minutes.
- Add chicken, broth, rice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board, shred it, and return it to the pot.
- Whisk eggs and lemon juice in a bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup hot broth.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir the egg-lemon mixture into the soup.
- Add dill, adjust salt, and serve warm.
Notes:
- Keep the soup off the boil after adding the egg-lemon mixture.
- If the soup thickens as it sits, loosen it with extra broth.
- Use rotisserie chicken and reduce the simmer time for a shortcut.
