Roast Lemon Chicken and Rice Soup image

It's so worth roasting a whole chicken for this next-level chicken-and-rice soup, Plus, you'll never just squeeze a lemon again when you taste the levels of flavor roasted lemon slices bring to the dish. If you plan to make the Escarole Salad with Roast Lemon Chicken, Lardons, and Poached Eggs another day, then reserve two tablespoons of the pan juices for the vinaigrette.

This soup is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread.

I'm not a fan of rice in soup, so I omitted it from this recipe. The soup was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with rice.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onion.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This soup was a bit too lemony for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try it again with less lemon next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but I decided to try this soup anyway. I'm glad I did! The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The soup was also very easy to make.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the soup. I also added a bit of chopped fresh parsley at the end for an extra pop of flavor.

I made this soup for my family last night and it was a hit! Everyone loved the tangy lemon flavor and the tender chicken. The rice made the soup nice and filling.
