Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 large chicken breast (about 6 oz)

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Fats

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the broth and vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery, sautéing gently for about 3-5 minutes until they start to soften but not brown.
  2. Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breast and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
  3. Shred the chicken: Remove the chicken breast from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Return chicken and add lemon: Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Simmer and blend flavors: Let the soup simmer gently for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and serve immediately for a fresh, cleansing start to your day or year.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control salt levels for a cleaner taste.
  • Add fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme for additional flavor if desired.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken breast with firm tofu and use vegetable broth.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
  • Adjust lemon juice amount to your preferred level of citrus brightness.
