Lemon Chicken Soup With Spinach & Dill
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, cut into medium dice
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 qt. low-salt chicken broth
- 1/2 cup instant rice
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 5 oz. (6 cups lightly packed) baby spinach
- 2 Tbs. minced fresh dill
- 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice; more to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the oil in a small (3-qt.) Dutch oven or soup kettle over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken thighs, broth, rice, and oregano. Cover, raise the heat to medium high, and bring to a full boil; turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it with a table knife and fork, discarding any obvious fat or gristle. Working in two batches, puree the broth, rice, and onions in a blender until very smooth, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Return the chicken and the thickened broth to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add the spinach and dill; cook until the spinach wilts completely, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice.
