5 Ingredient - 10 Minute Lemon Chicken Soup Recipe (2024)

This Chicken Soup recipe is the perfect comfort food for cold and flu season and it couldn’t be easier to make with only 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep!

There is little I love in life more than a recipe that is so delicious you wouldn’t ever guess it is super simple to make. This Lemon Chicken Soup IS that recipe. This January I decided to do what I like to call Soup-a-palooza. Basically it is a couple of days of doing nothing but make soups that are frozen into individual portions so that the hubby and I can grab a quick and easy meal anytime we need to and keep it healthy and wholesome with minimal effort. This was the FIRST soup on my list to make because it is one of my favorites… And did I mention how EASY it is to make?

Creamy Lemon Chicken Soup Recipe

When I say easy I mean it. To start it only has 5 ingredients. You take the 5 ingredients, combine them and heat. That is it. Seriously.

But when you dig in your taste buds will dance because this soup is creamy, rich, smooth and oh so comforting. With the rich savory flavor of chicken and the hint of lemon it just balances on perfection. And since you can make it with pretty much all low fat ingredients and there are minimal carbs, despite the rich taste, it is a surprisingly healthy option! And there is nothing, I repeat nothing, better than this when you are under the weather!

So here is what you do. Chop up your rotisserie chicken. You don’t have to use rotisserie, but I like to since it has amazing flavor, is so tender and I can pick it up in a moment’s notice at any super market I happen to be near. Next get out a good sized pot and pour in the canned soups. Add the chicken broth and whisk to combine well. If you want it to be over the top packed with flavor, try using the this recipe for the easiest homemade chicken broth ever! You can use the rotesserie chicken you need for the soup to make it the night before you make your soup! Also, marrow broth is super trendy right now for all of the crazy good health benefits it has. After the broth, stir in your chopped chicken and then add lemon juice. Throw a little salt and pepper in to taste and cook over medium heat until it is bubbly around the edges and heated through. Serve it warm and if you are feeling a little Iron Chef, garnish with parsley to make it pretty!

Either way you will be the big winner for serving this yummy soup!
