Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast*
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 large stalk celery (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
4 cups chicken stock (homemade or low sodium)
2 cups water (or sub with more chicken stock for added flavor)
1/2 cup uncooked white rice or orzo pasta (do not use instant rice)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 large eggs
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken, onion, celery, garlic, stock and water in your slow cooker. Cook about 3 hours on high, or 4-5 hours on low, adding the rice or orzo during the last hour or so of cooking time to prevent overcooking.
When the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and allow to cool slightly. Chop into chunks or shred, and place back in the slow cooker.
Place the eggs in a medium bowl and beat lightly, then whisk in the lemon juice until combined. Place about 1 cup of hot soup broth in a measuring cup, and add a few droplets at a time to the egg-lemon mixture whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Continue adding the hot broth in a slow, steady stream while whisking constantly.
After all the stock has been added, add the egg-lemon mixture to the soup in the slow cooker and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve, and enjoy!

I created this soup with all of our favorite flavors and ingredients in mind. You may omit the vinegar, if you would like it less tart. Cook time includes 6 hours in the crock pot. A special thanks to Susie D for including this in her best of 2016 collection!

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 large potatoes, roughly diced
18 baby carrots, sliced (or whole, if you prefer)
1 onion, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, juice of
2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 cup white wine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/8-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8-1/4 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook 1 hour on high, then 5 hours on low (or 7 hours on low, if you are not available to switch crock pot from high to low).
If you don't have a crock pot, soup can just as easily be simmered for a long time on the stove, until the chicken is falling apart, about 3 hours.
Before serving, break up chicken into large bite size pieces, and taste for salt.
