Quick Lemon Chicken Soup

Recipe #16267 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

This is not Gramma's chicken soup, but it does provide comfort food fairly quickly to someone suffering from a cold. The lemon juice added to the bowl will add just enough tang to make it interesting enough to eat all of the soup.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

I halved the recipe and still had more than enough for 2 servings. I used orzo pasta, adding about 1/2 cup for the halved recipe. Although I like lemon juice, one tablespoon was a bit too much for me so I would halve that amount next time (this may have been due to the reduced amount of pasta I used).

    A delicious rich broth. I used acini de pepe pasta, and less lemon juice. I'll be making it again soon!

    Very good. I added a bit of celery too. Had a really good and differnt taste compared to your usual chicken noodle, kind of like the gourmet version. Great when you are sick too.

    I can't imagine why I haven't made this wonderful soup before! It is so easy to make and tasted ever so good. Today was just the right day - snowed all last night and all morning so this soup was comfort food that hit the right spot. I thought I had enough Chicken stock but when I checked the size of the can they were only 10 oz so I added a tin of Vegetable Broth (it worked) and used whole wheat noodles - the lemon is just the right finishing touch - If the soup is your full meal I can see it serving two but we had it for lunch followed with cheeses, crackers & grapes and there would be enough for 4 servings. I restocked the cupboard with chicken stock later this afternoon ready for the next batch. Thank-you Bill for an excellent recipe
