How to Make Lemon Chicken Soup 9steps
1

Place the olive oil in a large pot and heat over medium-high heat. Then add the carrots, onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes.

2

Once the vegetables are softened, add black pepper, parsley, thyme, salt, bay leaves, chicken breast, and chicken broth. Mix well.

3

Cover the pot and let the soup come to a boil. It should start boiling in about 10 minutes.

4

After the soup boils, reduce the heat slightly and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

After 15 minutes, remove the chicken breasts and set them aside. Also, remove the bay leaves from the pot.

6

Add the orzo to the pot and stir. Cook for half of the recommended time for the orzo to become semi-cooked.

7

Meanwhile, shred the chicken breasts using two forks.

8

While the orzo is cooking, add the chicken and lemon juice to the soup. Mix well.

9

If you prefer the orzo to be firmer, you can cook it in a separate pot and add it directly to your bowl when ready to eat.

Lemon Chicken Soup Cooking Tips

Pay attention to the cooking time of the orzo, as it will continue to cook while the soup cools. Also, using freshly squeezed lemon juice will enhance the flavor.

Çorba çok lezzetliydi, limonun ferahlığı gerçekten mükemmel! Özellikle kış aylarında vazgeçilmezim olacak gibi. 👍

Tarifi denedim, ama tavuk suyunu biraz fazla kullandım sanırım. Sonuçta tadı harika oldu!

Acaba limon yerine portakal suyu kullanırsak nasıl olur, deneyen var mı?

Çorbayı yaparken tavukları önceden haşladım, kıvamı tam istediğim gibi oldu.

Tarif genel olarak güzeldi ama bence biraz fazla limon geldi, bir dahaki sefer daha az koyacağım.

Limonlu tatları sevmediğim için biraz tereddüt ettim ama çok beğendim.

Çorbayı pişirirken bir tatlı kaşığı bal ekledim, hafif tatlı bir aroma verdi.

Tarifi uygularken şeker yerine pekmez kullandım, farklı bir lezzet katıyor.
