Lemon – Chicken – Spinach Soup with Mint

The Armenian Kitchen’s version of Christine’s Lemon- Chicken- Spinach Soup with Mint

The Armenian Kitchen‘s version:


I had to substitute a few ingredients based on what was on hand. I used frozen, chopped spinach instead of fresh; thin, short noodles instead of wide; shredded, cooked turkey instead of chicken, and dried mint instead of fresh.


For the preparation, I first sauteed the onion, carrots, celery and garlic in a little olive oil, over medium heat, until the vegetables were tender. Then, added the broth, seasonings, lemon juice, zest, and frozen chopped spinach. I brought the broth to a boil, added the noodles and cooked, stirring now and then,  for about about 7- 9 minutes until the noodles softened.
At that point I added the parsley and shredded, cooked turkey and cooked until the turkey was heated through.


My soup was garnished with thin, round lemon slices as seen in the photo above.
I’m happy to report, Doug gave it two thumb’s-up, so Thank You, Christine!
