Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cooked chicken carcass (from 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken or homemade roast chicken)
1 lb. sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
3/4 cup French lentils (about 5 oz.), rinsed
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
10 celery stalks, sliced on the bias into 1/4" slices
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken (from 1/2 of a store-bought rotisserie chicken or homemade roast chicken)
1/2 head escarole, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped dill
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place chicken carcass, potatoes, lentils, and 1 tsp. salt in a large pot. Cover with 8 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are fork tender and lentils are cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Discard chicken carcass.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high. Add celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until celery and garlic are lightly golden brown and tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Stir celery, garlic, shredded chicken, and escarole into soup and cook, stirring occasionally, until escarole is wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in dill and lemon juice; season soup with salt.

Tips:

  • For richer flavor, use chicken stock instead of water.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a smoky flavor.

  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers for a complete meal.
