SLOW-COOKER LEMONY CHICKEN SOUP



Slow-Cooker Lemony Chicken Soup image

This lemony, herbal take on chicken soup highlights produce, but the basic technique is useful any time you want chicken soup with minimum effort. Slow-cooking chicken in stock creates a richly flavored, double-concentrated stock. Homemade stock is ideal, but you can also use your favorite store-bought stock. Stock concentrate paste like Better Than Bouillon is particularly good because it is natural-tasting, cost-effective and keeps in the fridge for a very long time. (Check the jar for how to reconstitute the paste. For this soup, no need to use boiling water; tap water works fine.) This recipe is flexible: If peas and asparagus aren't available, substitute two cups of quick-cooking vegetables, like fresh or frozen corn, baby spinach or arugula, or thinly sliced zucchini. Instead of tortellini, you can add an equivalent amount of cooked pasta or grains.

Time 7h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups chicken stock or broth
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise then thinly sliced crosswise (about 2 cups)
2 carrots, sliced about 1/2-inch thick
2 celery stalks, sliced about 1/2-inch thick
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Black pepper and kosher salt
1 lemon, juiced (2 to 3 tablespoons)
1 cup sliced asparagus (about 12 ounces, trimmed and sliced 1/2-inch thick)
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
9 ounces refrigerated spinach-cheese tortellini (optional; see Tip)
1/2 cup chopped soft fresh herbs, such as dill, mint, tarragon, parsley, chives or a mixture

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the stock, chicken, leeks, carrots, celery, garlic, red-pepper flakes, onion powder and several generous grinds of black pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if using salted stock, 1 teaspoon kosher salt if using low-sodium stock or 2 teaspoons kosher salt if using unsalted stock. Cover and cook on low until the chicken and vegetables are very tender, about 7 hours.
  • Increase the heat to high. Using two forks, tear apart the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add the lemon juice, asparagus, peas and tortellini, if using, to the soup. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender to crisp-tender, and the tortellini is cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the herbs; season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls to serve.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH LEMON



Chicken Soup With Lemon image

Bulgur is just one grain you can add to this lemony soup; quinoa or rice, which is traditional, work equally well. If you use all of the shredded chicken called for in this recipe (you don't have to), the soup becomes much like a stew. Make the broth the day before; after it chills overnight in the refrigerator, skim the fat from the surface.

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves six generously

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds chicken, cut up
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 medium onion, quartered
6 large garlic cloves, 4 peeled and crushed, 2 minced or sliced
A bouquet garni made with 1 bay leaf, a couple of sprigs of thyme and a couple of sprigs of parsley
2 1/2 quarts water
10 peppercorns
Salt to taste
1 pound leeks (3 medium or 2 large), white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced thin
2/3 cup bulgur
Juice of 2 large lemons
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives or cilantro

Steps:

  • If possible, do this step a day ahead. Combine the chicken, carrots, onion, crushed garlic cloves, bouquet garni, water and peppercorns in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer. Skim off any foam, add salt to taste, cover partially and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Using tongs, remove the chicken breasts and wings and place in a bowl. Simmer the legs and thighs for another 10 minutes and remove. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin and return the bones to the pot. Continue to simmer the bones for another 30 minutes. Shred the chicken, and refrigerate it in a covered bowl.
  • Pour the broth through a cheesecloth-lined strainer into a large bowl. Refrigerate overnight. The next day, skim off the fat that has congealed on the surface of the broth and discard.
  • Return the broth to the soup pot. Add the remaining garlic and leeks, bulgur and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes until the grains are tender. Taste and adjust salt. Shortly before serving, stir as much of the chicken as you'd like into the soup (use the remaining chicken for salads). Stir in the lemon juice and herbs, and serve.
