Lemon Chicken Vegetable Soup is a light & delicious broth-based vegetable soup recipe with the addition of tender chicken and fresh lemon. Chocked full of fresh vegetables like green beans, asparagus, carrots and tomatoes. Perfect for the cool days of early Spring, or anytime really!
I love soup- my entire family knows this. I like to make a big batch and then eat a bowl of soup for lunch over the next several days. This Lemon Chicken Vegetable Soup is a flavorful, comforting recipe that tastes even better the next day. I love to top mine with Parmesan cheese. I usually add pasta in when I’m serving it to my family, although I enjoy it with and without pasta. You choose!
How to make Lemon Chicken Vegetable Soup Faster
The most time consuming part of making homemade soup is chopping all the vegetables. The good thing is that you can do much of this work beforehand. I usually keep a homemade mirepoix blend on hand and love using frozen diced onions. If you’re really in a hurry you can even use packaged frozen vegetables.
