Our family has been sick with colds for the past two weeks and I was in desperate need of a warm chicken soup. Of course I couldn't just make the normal chicken noodle- so I made my own variation which turned out to be my favorite variation!
The lemon add a brightness that makes me happy and makes me forget my annoying stuffy nose. Instead of noodles, which I never seem to have in my pantry, I added white beans but noodles would be just as good!
Adapted from: Good Life {eats}
Variation: I don't always like using the egg yolks to add the creaminess, so I made a separate roux and then added it to the soup- Still yum! (add the extra lemon juice to the broth)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp flour
1/2-1 cup milk
Melt butter, add flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in milk slowly until thickened. Slowly stir into hot soup.
This soup looks so tasty and comforting. I like the addition of white beans instead of noodles for a simple twist.
