5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN PESTO SOUP
Although this soup is made with just five ingredients, the cooking technique packs the soup with flavor. You start by poaching bone-in chicken thighs in chicken broth, which amps up the flavor of the broth and leaves you with meat so tender, it practically falls off the bone. A swirl of pesto at the end delivers a cheesy, herby hit and turns the soup a vibrant green.

Steps:
- Put the chicken in a large pot and cover with the broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken from the pot to a cutting board. Skim the surface of the broth with a slotted spoon to remove any skin that's floated to the surface. Remove the meat from the chicken bones and shred with two forks; discard the skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the spinach.
- Turn the heat to medium until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Swirl the pesto into the soup and season with salt.

Steps:
- In a food processor, puree all of the pesto ingredients until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup for topping.
- In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, toss in the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, then mix in the garlic, oregano, dill weed, sumac, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Nestle the chicken into the vegetables and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Mix in the pesto.
- Pour the chicken broth, parmesan rind, and rice into the pot, and bring the liquids to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the rice and chicken are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the lemon juice and eggs until they're very well beaten. While continuing to whisk the eggs, slowly stir 2 ladles of the hot broth into the lemon and egg mixture (This tempers the eggs so that you're not pouring cold eggs into hot soup and scrambling them).
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the pot and shred with two forks or an electric mixer. Return to the soup. Remove the parmesan rind.
- Pour the egg mixture into the soup and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer (but not a boil) and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Divide the soup into your bowls and top with some of the reserved pesto and some fresh herbs. Enjoy!
