Time 43m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 dried bay leaf
1 (2-inch) piece Parmesan cheese rind, optional
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces, *see Cook's Note
2 cups diced cooked rotisserie chicken, preferably breast meat
1 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, bring the chicken broth, lemon juice, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind, if using, to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the carrots and simmer until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the broken pasta and cook until the pasta is tender, for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and the Parmesan rind and discard. Stir in 1/2 of the cheese and the parsley. Season with salt, to taste. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • *Cook's Note: You can use any short pasta from your pantry as a substitute for spaghetti.

I wasn't sure about the lemon in this soup, but I'm glad I gave it a try. It was really good! The lemon flavor was subtle but it really brightened up the soup.

This was a great soup! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped spinach to the soup for some extra greens.
