lemon chicken soup.

lemon chicken soup recipe for you, from me (the vegetarian)! chop some celery, yellow onions, and leeks and sauté in a few tbsp olive oil in a big pot. when the veggies soften and caramelize a bit, add about a pound of boneless skinless chicken (breast, legs, thighs, whatever) and 8 cups broth (chicken or veggie; make your own stock for future use by throwing a rotisserie chicken carcass in a pot, cover it in water, throw in some pieces of onion, celery, carrot, garlic, a bit of salt and pepper, and cook for a few hours and then strain the broth and freeze for later use). simmer until chicken is cooked, then remove it piece by piece and cut into cubes or shreds and add it back to the pot. add a cup of your favorite grain or pasta (if a grain, cook before adding to soup. for pasta, add to pot with the soup and cook for the time according to the package). add the juice of two freshly squeezed lemons, and serve. easy.
