step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the cornstarch slurry

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Pick the dill fronds off the stems; roughly chop the fronds. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lemon to get 2 teaspoons of zest. Halve the lemon crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl, straining out the seeds. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon zest, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine half the cornstarch (you will have extra) and 1/2 cup of water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

step 2

Start the soup

In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced onion and sliced carrots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the seasoned chicken, broth (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and 1 1/2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, 14 to 16 minutes, or until slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through.* 

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.

Finish the soup & serve your dish

Carefully transfer the cooked chicken to a work surface; using two forks, shred into bite-sized pieces. To the pot, add the shredded chicken, cream (shaking the packet before opening), and cornstarch slurry (whisking to recombine before adding); stir until combined. Add the spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice; stir to combine. Serve the finished soup garnished with the lemon sour cream and chopped dill. Enjoy!
