Lemon Chicken Soup in bowlI came up with this recipe when I had next to nothing in the house to cook with. I had a roasted chicken that was torn to bits, lemons from my garden, carrots and onions that I'd dried over the summer, and some quick oats. For being so bare-bones, it was absolutely delicious, and was even better the next day. So comforting!

Here are my articles on how to dry your own onions and carrots. They come in so handy when you've got nothing in the fridge!

Steps:

  1. Break up the chicken carcass and place it in a large pot. I had baked mine with parsley and onions, so it had that extra umph when I made the broth. You can add whatever you like to make the broth, but I just dumped mine in. Cover with about 8 cups of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for at least an hour. Let cool a bit, strain out the bones, then pick out any meat and set aside.

  11. Add the chicken pieces, then salt and pepper to taste. I stirred in some garlic powder at the end for depth, then served immediately.
