Feel Better Chicken Soup Recipe

olive oil

celery, chopped

fresh ginger, chopped

4-8 garlic cloves, rough chopped (I like 8)

chicken broth

water

salt

bay leaves

white pepper (or use regular)

chicken

——–

lemon juice

chili flakes

cilantro parsley

sesame oil (optional, tasty)

Heat oil in a big pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to med- low and continue sauteeing until golden, 3-4 more minutes.

Add the chicken stock, water, salt, white pepper, bay leaves and skinless chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, and lower heat so it&#8217;s gently simmering, covered for 20 mintues. If using breasts, check at 15.

Test a piece of chicken for doneness by pulling meat apart with two forks. It should come apart easily and look opaque. If done, shred the rest of the chicken, then return to the pot and simmer gently for 5 more minutes.

Squeeze with lemon, taste and adjust broth. You can add more salt of needed, or if too salty for your taste, water down with a little water. I prefer ours salty, lemony, and unctuous, especially if adding a starch (like rice, noodles or beans) which will temper the salt quite a bit. Up to you. If the soup tastes bland, it needs salt.

Ladle it over cooked rice or noodles or just on its own.

Garnish with scallions or cilantro (or both) and a drizzle of sesame oil if you like and chili flakes (or chili paste or sriracha).

STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS:

I was digging around in my freezer and found chicken breast and chicken tenders, which is like finding gold these days because there is no chicken to be found in the stores. I am a chicken thigh kind of gal and came here for inspiration beyond a chicken burger. This soup was perfect! It came together quickly and for such a short list of ingredients was ridiculously flavorful. The hardest part was shredding the chicken. I ladled it over ramen noodles and topped with Aleppo chili flakes and green onions. We didn’t stop for a pic, sorry. Love your blog, Sylvia! Thank you for sharing.

My whole family loved this soup. It is delicious. Thank you, Sylvia :)

This was delicious!  I followed the recipe and added white rice.  My family loved it.  Such a great twist on chicken soup with ginger and lemon.  There were no leftovers.  I cannot wait to make it again.

I made this dish in my InstaPot - so quick and delicious. Flavors are so good together, I did not add any rice or noodles, but topped with cilantro and chili oil. Thanks Sylvia for another fantastic, pairing of flavors.

I am not a good cook. Only about half of the things I try to make turn out well enough that I want to save the recipe. But I had all the ingredients and I love ginger and garlic, so I decided to try this soup. I am so pleased! It turned out great and I will definitely make it again. I had only about 1 lb of chicken thighs so I left out one of the cups of water. I had leftover rice so I ladled my soup onto that, after leaving it out for a while to take the chill off. I also added a tiny bit of sesame oil to my bowl as suggested. Thank you!

I made it and it was exceptionally tasty. I added quinoa, kale, Spinach and extra lemon. Boy it was delicious. Thanks for sharing such a tasty recipe!

The recipe stands up to its name...
I’m feeling much better❤️
Thank you!

this recipe is delicious  Love the kick of ginger and lemon.

I make this all of the time now. Simple ingredients, simple instructions, complex &amp; deep flavors. Love this recipe!

Really delicious! Definitely cooking this again!
