Now that winter is well and truly here, it is soup time and this is one of our favourites.
It is a very simple soup and easy to make.
Chicken & Lemon Soup
Ingredients :
1 kg chicken thigh fillets or similar
1 1/2 cups of chopped parsley
Rind and juice of 1 1/2 lemons
2 chopped medium sized onions
1 large grated carrot
1/2 litres of chicken stock
8 cups of water
1 decent sized cup of white long grain rice
Left over carcasses of roast chickens
Method :
Fry the onion and carrot in a little oil on medium heat for fifteen minutes then add the chicken and cook for another ten
Add a pinch of black pepper but no salt ( the stock brings salt to the dish )
Add the rest of the ingredients except the rice and simmer for another twenty minutes
Add the rice and cook for another fifteen minutes or until the meat falls off the bones
You may have to add more water depending on how much of it is absorbed by the rice
Discard any bones, shred the meat and serve
This goes very well with garlic bread or crusty rolls.
For some it may be too lemony so just cut back on the amount of rind and juice.

Thanks for that. Sounds yum!
Looks pretty simple. I'll try it.
Did you try to make puree of it? It should taste delicate. And a bit of mint or rosemary to decorate it. I love it!! Thanks!

No not a puree , nor a chunky soup either as I cut everything except the chicken pretty fine.
The chicken I just shred into 50mm long strands after it has been cooking for an hour.
It is not a strong soup although on occasion I have put in more rind and lemon juice which just makes it taste more lemony. Some like it stronger , some weaker and more delicate as you say.
