More To Life Than Bacon - Armenian Lemon Chicken Soup
By steeleweed, on July 5th, 2013
I love Armenian cooking. My favorite Armenian restaurants in NYC
closed, but there are rumors of one Uptown still. There's an Armenian
chef near me but he cooks French, with an occasional Armenian dessert.
Being where they are, Armenians got stomped on for centuries by
everyone stomping through the Middle East. The upside is that their
cooking is a wonderful mix.
Still looking for their perfect Lemon Yogurt Soup recipe.
Armenian Lemon Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
2 Chicken breasts - cooked or uncooked
1 medium onion
1 medium tomato
3-4 stalks celery
Optional: shred some celery leaf - very nutritious)
1 carrot (6-8 baby carrots)
1 Lemon
salt
15 black peppercorns or equivalent ground black pepper
4-5 leaves dried mint
10-15 fresh spinich leaves
(I use baby spinach)
Pasta - 1/3 cup whole wheat pasta & 1/3 cup basmati rice
or just use noodles
Directions:
Debone & deskin chicken
Chop if uncooked, shred if cooked
Chop onion, tomato, celery & carrots
Chicken & veggies, salt & pepper[corns] in pot.
4 cups water if chicken is cooked, 1 quart if uncooked
Simmer on low heat 45 minutes-1 hour if using cooked chicken
3-4 hours if using uncooked chicken
Bring chicken stock to a boil for 10-15 minutes
Add the pasta
Chop fresh spinach [& celery leaf], optionally cilantro, parsley
Juice from 1 lemon
Crumble dried mint
Add this stuff to the soup and cook until pasta is done
