Рецепт Lemon Spinach + Chicken Soup
Scroll down to watch the step-by-step video.
This bright and comforting Lemon Spinach + Chicken Soup is the second recipe I share in my ‘3 Homemade Chicken Soup Recipes’ video (classic chicken noodle and spicy chicken and veggie are the other two).
This recipe uses the same base ingredients as my classic chicken soup, but I brighten up the flavor with lots of fresh lemon juice and zest. Pair that with some baby spinach and tri-colored couscous and you end up with a big pot of family friendly comfort food that works all year round.
And remember, if you want to bring your chicken soup to the next level, homemade chicken stock is a sure way to get the job done. Enjoy!
