CREAMY LEMON RICE SOUP(GLORIA PITZER)



Creamy Lemon Rice Soup(Gloria Pitzer) image

This is similar to a soup that I ate @ a Coney Island Restaurant just outside of Detroit. When I asked the server for the recipe, she just smiled and said "Look in your cupboard". Now I know what she meant. I made the recipe in the microwave on 40% power instead of using the double boiler, but I will post it as found on the Internet. The directions are per Loretta the waitress at the Coney Island.

LEMON CHICKEN RICE SOUP



Lemon Chicken Rice Soup image

I got this recipe from a friend, who served it to me one chilly night. It is very much a "comfort food" for me and quite easy to make with leftover chicken. When you are adding the eggs, be careful to add them very slowly and make sure the soup is not too hot, otherwise your eggs will split. I find it helps to take the soup off the burner for a few minutes before adding the eggs. You should end up with a smooth cream-like base to your soup, not broken eggy bits like in egg drop soup.

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups chicken broth
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/3 cup rice, uncooked
1/3 cup carrot, diced
1/3 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup chicken, cubed and cooked
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
3 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper
lemon slice (optional)
sliced green onions or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine chicken broth, bouillon cube, rice, carrots, celery and onion.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in chicken.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Then, in a small saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour until smooth.
  • Gradually add 2 cups of broth mixture, cook until slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
  • Gradually beat lemon juice and 2 cups thickened broth into the large pot of soup.
  • Very slowly add egg mixture into the soup, stirring constantly. Do not do this if your soup is boiling or very hot or your eggs will split. You may want to take the soup off the burner for a few minutes before you add the eggs.
  • Heat gently until soup thickens enough to coat a spoon-- do not boil!
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, garnish with lemon.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY CHICKEN SOUP WITH LEMON, RICE AND DILL



Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Soup With Lemon, Rice and Dill image

This lightly creamy and incredibly comforting soup is all about the almost-austere interplay of chicken, broth, white rice and lemon. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice: Any variety will work. Tempering the yolks (slowly whisking hot broth into them) ensures that they will emulsify and thicken the soup, and not scramble. Use a half cup of lemon juice for an assertively tart soup, but, for a gentler effect, use the smaller amount. If you prefer, you can use an equivalent weight of chicken legs instead of thighs.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, peeled, trimmed and halved
2 celery stalks, halved
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bay leaf
3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
6 cups chicken broth or stock
Black pepper
Kosher salt
2 cups cooked white rice
1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons), more as needed
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sour cream
1 small bunch dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaf in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Pull the skin off half of the thighs and discard it (or save to render the fat at another time). Add the chicken to the slow cooker and top with broth. Season generously with pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if you are using low-sodium broth or 1 teaspoon salt if using homemade unsalted stock. (Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth.) Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. If it's more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about another 2 hours before the chicken starts to dry out.
  • With a spoon or ladle, skim and discard any obvious foam and fat from the top of the soup. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl and strain the broth. Discard the vegetables (or if they still have flavor, set them aside for a snack) and let the chicken cool while you finish the soup. Return the broth to the slow cooker, and switch the heat to high. Stir in the rice, cover and let the soup heat up until it is at least steaming hot, or bubbling a bit around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, egg yolks and sour cream in a medium bowl until creamy and combined. Dip a liquid measuring cup into the hot broth. While whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle about 2 cups of hot broth into the lemon juice mixture until fully combined and smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the rest of the soup and whisk for another minute or so, until the soup starts to thicken enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. Coarsely shred the chicken meat and add it into the soup, discarding the bones and skin. Stir in the dill and taste the soup. Add salt if necessary, and more lemon juice and black pepper if you like. If the soup isn't hot enough, cover and let heat on high for another 10 minutes.
