Preparation

• Sauté the vegetables Heat olive oil or butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook 5–6 min until soft and slightly translucent. Stir in garlic and cook 1 min until fragrant.
• Poach the chicken Add the chicken pieces, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat in the vegetables. Pour in the chicken stock or broth, bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook 15–18 min until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
• Cook the vermicelli Stir in the vermicelli. Simmer 5–7 min, stirring occasionally so the pasta does not clump or stick to the bottom. If the soup becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water.
• Finish with lemon and herbs Turn the heat to low. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and most of the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon if needed.
• Serve Ladle the soup into warm bowls. Garnish with the remaining parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil if you like. Serve immediately while hot and steamy.
