Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup is made by simmering chicken with chopped vegetables until tender, then adding spinach and lemon near the end. Shred the cooked chicken and return it to the pot so it warms through without becoming dry.
Onion, carrot and celery are classic choices for Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup; zucchini or potato also work well. Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly, and add the spinach later because it wilts quickly.
Add the lemon juice near the end of cooking, or just after taking Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup off the heat. This preserves its fresh, bright flavor. Start with a little, taste the broth, and add more if you want it tangier.
Yes, cooked leftover chicken works well in Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup. Simmer the vegetables and broth first, then stir in shredded chicken near the end and heat it thoroughly. Adding it late helps keep the meat tender.
Yes, add fresh, washed spinach raw to the pot toward the end of cooking. It wilts in a few minutes, so there is no need to simmer it for long. Chopping larger leaves makes the soup easier to eat.
Yes, frozen spinach can be used in Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup. Thaw it and drain excess water first, then stir it in near the end. This keeps the broth from becoming watery and prevents the spinach from overcooking.
Yes, Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup can be frozen in airtight, portion-sized containers once cooled. The vegetables and spinach may soften after thawing, but the soup will still be suitable to eat. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly.
Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup keeps for about 3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly rather than leaving it out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.
Crusty bread or a simple green salad pairs well with Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup. Choose bread for a more substantial meal, or serve the soup with salad when you want a lighter lunch.
Yes, leave celery out of Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup or replace it with extra carrot, zucchini or onion. Celery adds a savory background flavor, but the lemon, chicken and other vegetables still make a flavorful broth without it.

Chicken, Spinach, Vegetable and Lemon Soup is a home-style soup made with chicken, spinach, mixed vegetables and lemon. Recipes vary, but the chicken brings savoury depth while lemon gives the broth a bright, fresh finish.
Serve it hot as a starter or as a light lunch or supper; it fits easily into everyday cooking in many places. A slice of bread makes it more substantial, while a smaller bowl works well before a larger meal. The chicken provides lean protein, and the vegetables add fibre; at 55 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light choice. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and let the vegetables stay tender rather than cooking them until soft.
