COMFORT ESSENTIALS: LEMONY CHICKEN FENNEL SOUP
This is a simple soup to prepare, and if you are using leftover chicken (like I am), the dish can be on the table in about 30 minutes. Come to think of it, this recipe would probably be good with leftover turkey. The introduction of the fennel with the dill, give it a savory taste that goes down good on a cold Winter's eve....

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. For this recipe I am using leftover chicken from a recipe I made the other day. It is a combination of dark and white meat. If you do not have any leftover chicken, then you need to cook up a few pieces. How about one or two medium boneless, skinless breasts, and a thigh or two... does not matter what you choose, just wind up with about 2 pounds of shredded chicken.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Zest the lemon, then remove the white pith, and chop up the pulp. Discard the seeds and pith... Save the chopped lemon pulp and zest.
- 5. Add the grapeseed oil and butter to a soup pot over medium heat, then add the fennel, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Stir until the veggies begin to soften, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- 6. Add the lemon zest, and pulp, then stir for an additional 3 - 5 minutes.
- 7. Add the dill and stir for an additional 3 - 5 minutes.
- 8. Add the chicken stock, and the chicken, then allow the soup to simmer for an additional 3 - 5 minutes.
- 9. While the soup is simmering, season it with salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes.
- 10. PLATE/PRESENT
- 11. Serve while nice and warm with a dollop of sour cream; possibly some crackers and/or crusty bread. Enjoy.
- 12. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
LEMON CHICKEN & RICE SOUP
Years ago, I fell hard for a lemony Greek soup at Panera Bread. It was just a special back then, but I re-created it at home so we could eat it whenever a craving hit! -Kristin Cherry, Bothell, Washington

COMFORT ESSENTIALS: LEMONY CHICKEN & RICE SOUP
I came up with the recipe, using ingredients I had lounging about the kitchen. It is simple to make, and produces a rich, comforting flavor. As a matter of fact, the brightness of the lemon juice, combined with the parsley and garlic give it a taste reminiscent of picnics by the lake on a warm Summer's eve. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- You will need a medium-sized soup pot, or Dutch oven to make this recipe.
- The Veggies If you do not wish to chop the veggies, simply place into a food processor, fitted with an S-blade, and give them a few 1-second pulses. Easy/Peasy
- The Garlic I tried this recipe two ways... In the first attempt, I allowed the grated garlic to cook with veggies at the beginning of the recipe. In the second attempt, I add the garlic at the end with the lemon juice. I love the how the flavor of the raw garlic mixed with the other ingredients.
- The Lemon Juice Some people like more lemon juice than the recipe calls for, and some people less. I would add it 1-tablespoon at a time and stop when you like what you taste.
- Storage This soup can be placed in the fridge for 2 - 3 days; however, since the rice will continue to absorb liquid, you will probably need to add a bit more stock when reheating.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Cook the chicken and shred.
- Add the butter to a large soup pot, over medium heat.
- When the butter has melted add the veggies and the parsley flakes, throw in a pinch of salt, and sweat for about 5 minutes, then add the rice, and the chicken stock.
- Slowly simmer until the veggies are cooked through, and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Then add the cooked, shredded chicken and stir to warm through, about 2 additional minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, add a bit more salt, and black pepper, to taste.
- Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice, grated garlic, then stir to combine.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve while nice and warm with some crispy bread, and possibly a side salad. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH CELERY, PARSLEY AND LEMON
This soup is simultaneously cozy and fresh. It's just the kind of thing you want to eat when you're sick and seeking something that'll perk you up and get you through it. The soup simmers long enough for the rice to start to break down so it thickens the soup. If you prefer a brothier soup that's predominantly chicken and rice floating in broth, cook just until the rice is tender. Or if you want thick porridge, just keep simmering. (You can't really overcook chicken thighs.) Lemon juice adds brightness, as does the lively mix of parsley, lemon, garlic and celery leaves strewn on top.

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine the broth, chicken, celery and rice. Season lightly with salt. (Some broths have more salt than others, so start easy.) Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the rice starts to break down and lose its shape, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely chop together the parsley leaves, lemon zest and up to 1/2 cup celery leaves. Transfer to a small bowl, grate the garlic clove into the bowl, season with salt and stir to combine.
- Using tongs, remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a medium bowl. Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces, then stir it back into the soup. Remove from heat, stir in the butter (if using), and season to taste with salt. Stir in the lemon juice a little at a time until the soup is bright but still tastes like chicken. (You may not use the full 1/2 cup juice.)
- Divide the soup among bowls and top with the parsley-lemon mixture. (The soup, minus the lemon juice and parsley mixture, can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; the rice will absorb liquid as it sits, so add more chicken broth when reheating. Add the lemon juice and fresh herb garnish just before serving.)
LEMON CHICKEN RICE SOUP
I got this recipe from a friend, who served it to me one chilly night. It is very much a "comfort food" for me and quite easy to make with leftover chicken. When you are adding the eggs, be careful to add them very slowly and make sure the soup is not too hot, otherwise your eggs will split. I find it helps to take the soup off the burner for a few minutes before adding the eggs. You should end up with a smooth cream-like base to your soup, not broken eggy bits like in egg drop soup.
