CREAMY LEMON CHICKEN SOUP

Need a FRESH start to the new year?  Try this soup full of tender chicken, crunchy snap peas and a tangy lemon bite to wake up your senses.

LEMON CHICKEN CREAMY SOUP
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons WONDRA flour
3/4 cup small diced red onion
2 1/2 cups chicken bone broth
Juice of 2 LARGE lemons
2 cups diced rotisserie chicken
1 1/2 cups trimmed and halved sugar snap peas
1 tablespoon FRESH chopped Italian leaf parsley
1 tablespoon FRESH chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon FRESH chopped thyme
FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

  • Melt butter in sauce pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add onions, sauteing 2-3 minutes until soft.
  • Sprinkle with flour and stir well until smooth.
  • Add lemon juice and broth gradually.
  • Generously season with FRESH ground sea salt and black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes until it begins to thicken.
  • Stir in chicken and peas, simmering another 5 minutes until chicken is warmed through and peas are crisp-tender.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in cream, simmering just until the cream is blended in and heated through.
  • Season to taste.
  • Serve immediately.

NOTE: I like to serve it with my Savory Chicken Bread 😀 That recipe will post tomorrow.
