Lemony Chicken Soup
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
- 3 whole Large Carrots, Sliced
- 3 stalks Celery, Sliced
- 1 quart Chicken Broth
- 2 cups Water
- 3 whole Medium Potatoes, Peeled And Diced
- 3 cups Chopped Cooked Chicken
- 1 can (14 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Drained And Rinsed
- 1/2 whole Lemon Squeezed For Juice
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt, Or To Taste
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper Or To Taste
- Place olive oil, butter, garlic and onion in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute for 2 minutes, then add carrots and celery. Stir and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, water and diced potatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add chicken and beans; cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- The saltiness can vary greatly depending on the type of chicken broth used. Taste before seasoning. The lemon juice adds some acid and results in less salt needed.
- Note: For the 3 cups of chopped cooked chicken you'll need approximately 2 chicken breasts or 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
