Creamy lemon chicken Soup

 This is slightly altered from a HelloFresh recipe that I fell in love with and wanted to have here. I think it might be my favorite soup ever. 

Ingredients

8 cups chicken broth

2-3 large chicken breasts seasoned, boiled, shredded (or a shredded rotisserie chicken is easier)

A bunch of sliced green onions, white and greens separated

A cup of fresh dill, chopped

3 Carrots, chopped 

3 sticks of Celery, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced 

1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous 

3/4 creme fraiche or Mexican crema (you can sub regular sour cream, but the texture's not as smooth)

1 large lemon, zested and juiced 


Steps


Sautee the carrots and Celery in oil in a large soup pot until softened, add garlic and onion whites, cook until fragrant.

Add chicken broth, heat until boiling

Add Israeli couscous, cook 7 minutes 

Reduce heat to low. Add shredded chicken, lemon zest and juice, creme fraiche. 

Add salt to taste.

Add onion greens and dill. 


Serve with crusty, warm bread and butter.
