Chicken soup is one of the most comforting dishes in the world, and I know every culture has their own version. It’s not only delicious, but it also has healing powers. It’s not called Jewish penicillin for nothing, after all.
But I admit: this winter I was sick of plain old chicken soup and wanted to try something new. Pinterest to the rescue, where I came across this version for Greek Lemon Chicken Soup from A Spicy Perspective. I made a few of my own tweaks based on what I had in my kitchen, and voila – a slightly more exciting chicken soup was born.
The soup was easy enough to throw together for a weeknight dinner (only about 20 minutes prep time), but delicious enough for a Sunday supper or Shabbat dinner. I would serve this simply with some olive oil roasted garlic bread for a satisfying weeknight meal.
