Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup

Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup is a fresh take on a comforting classic.  This easy chicken noodle soup is packed with citrus flavor and ready in 30 minutes.

I have a delicious recipe that will warm y’all right up – this scrumptious Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup.

One of the challenges I face is when one has leftover rotisserie chicken, what do you do?  There’s only so much chicken salad that a gal can make. Faced with a partial leftover chicken taking up valuable real estate in my refrigerator, I thought “Soup”.  However, I was not in the mood for my normal Southwestern Chicken soup.  My tried & true recipes were not an option and add a case of the winter blahs and I found myself in a winter recipe rut.

I also added the zest of one lemon and some garlic and celery and I found a new spin on an old favorite.  The options with this soup are endless – just jazz it up to what suits your palate.  Serve with crusty bread and dinner is served!

This Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup is a great dinner option for those nights when only quick and easy will do.
