Lemon Chicken Rice Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken; cook and stir until browned. Transfer to a 6-qt. slow cooker. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken., Stir broth, vegetables, lemon slices, lemon juice, lemon zest and pepper into slow cooker with chicken. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender. Stir in rice; heat through.

Steps:

• Bring rice, water, lemon zest, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir once, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until rice is cooked and water evaporates, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.
• Bring stock to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in rice, chicken, lemons, shallots, and pan juices, and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide soup among 4 to 6 bowls, and season with lemon juice and dill.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, bouillon cube, rice, carrots, celery and onion.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender.
• Stir in chicken.
• Remove from heat.
• Then, in a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour until smooth.
• Gradually add 2 cups of broth mixture, cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
• Gradually beat lemon juice and 2 cups thickened broth into the large pot of soup.
• Very slowly add egg mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. Do not do this if your soup is boiling or very hot or your eggs will split. You may want to take the soup off the burner for a few minutes before you add the eggs.
• Heat gently until soup thickens enough to coat a spoon-- do not boil!
• Add salt and pepper to taste, garnish with lemon.

Steps:

• Peel the skin from the chicken thighs and set aside. Cut and remove the bone from each thigh and set aside. Cut and remove excess fat and discard. Store thigh meat in a sealed container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place chicken skin, bones, and other remains in a large pot. Add carrots, onion, rosemary, thyme, and salt. and add enough water to cover everything, about 5 cups. Simmer for at least 4 hours.
• Strain solid ingredients through a fine-mesh sieve into a container that can have a sealed lid. Allow to cool somewhat on the counter, then move to the refrigerator.
• Cool for at least 4 hours, until the fat separates from the stock. Use a spoon or paper towel to remove excess fat from the top of the stock.
• Heat up stock on the stove over medium heat for a few minutes. If necessary, pour through a sieve again. The broth will be cloudy, which is totally normal.
• Bring stock to a boil, then add rice. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is softened.
• Add the oil to a pan on medium heat. Cut the chicken into half-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken on both sides until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside and cover until ready to use.
• Whisk eggs and lemon juice in a separate container. Stream a few ounces of the stock to the mixture while whisking to prevent scrambling of the eggs. Continue adding stock until about a cup of mixture is created. Reintroduce the mixture to the pot in the same way, streaming while mixing.
• Raise temperature on the pot to medium heat. Add chicken and chopped dill and stir to distribute evenly. Add salt and pepper if needed to season.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine broth and chicken; bring broth to a gentle simmer over medium. Reduce heat slightly so liquid is moving but not simmering; cook until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest until cool enough to handle. Shred into bite-size pieces.
• Bring broth to a rapid simmer; add rice and cook just until tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Return chicken to pot. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until frothy; whisk in lemon juice. Whisking constantly, slowly pour 1 cup hot broth into egg mixture. Immediately whisk egg mixture into pot. Season soup with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with pepper and dill.
