Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Place a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
- Once the butter begins to foam and lightly sizzle, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 more minute.
Cooking
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the chicken breasts. Bring the broth to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a rimmed plate to catch any juice. Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat with two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken (and juices) back to the pot over medium-low heat until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the dill and lemon juice and season with additional salt if necessary.
Notes
For a heartier soup, add cooked noodles or rice. You can also use rotisserie chicken for even faster prep.
