Cozy Lemon Chicken & Rice Soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cozy night in. This soup is filled with tender chicken, creamy rice, and zesty lemon flavors that will warm you from the inside out.

Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice, uncooked
  • 8 cups chicken broth or bone broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ cup lemon juice + zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¾ pound cooked boneless, skinless, chicken breast, shredded
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For Garnishing:

  • Chopped parsley
  • Aleppo pepper
  • Fresh or dry dill

Instructions

  1. Start by adding the olive oil to a large pot, on the stove, over medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add in the diced onions. Sauté them for about 6-7 minutes, until the onions begin to turn translucent. Then, add in the mashed garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  2. Next, add in the uncooked rice, broth, thyme, and oregano, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, and lemon juice until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. Now, ladle about 1 3/4 cups of the soup into the bowl with the egg mixture, and VERY SLOWLY, a few tablespoons at a time. Be sure to constantly whisk the mixture so that the eggs don’t curdle – this is extremely important.
  5. After that, add the mixture to a blender and blend until nice and smooth. Then, pour the mixture back into the pot with the rest of the soup.
  6. Add the shredded chicken and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with parsley, dill, and Aleppo pepper (optional).
  8. Eat and enjoy!
