There's nothing nicer than a warming bowl of chicken soup that's made fragrant with fresh lemon, ginger and dill.
Borne from the necessity of getting rid of an ugly cold virus that plagued me for over a week, robbed me of my appetite, and curtailed my daily activities.
I had to get rid of it asap as I hate being stuck indoors.
The combination of flavours may seem a little strange but it was delicious. Why not give this a try, even if your hail and hearty....don't wait till your poorly to taste it.. im sure your family will enjoy it too. I've used the Sear/ Sauté element of the Ninja Foodi for this but it can easily be done on the hob or the Slow Cooker.
