How to make chicken stock or beef stock in the oven
Of course you don’t need to have endelighted that great roast chicken dinner to endelight this soup. Simply take about 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinate them in lemon juice and your choice of fresh or dried herbs for a half hour.
Then grill or broil them until fully cooked. If using store bought chicken stock, make certain you choose no sodium or low sodium. It’s always better to season the soup yourself to control the amount of salt.
When serving this soup you can sprinkle on some fresh herbs at the end and serve with a wedge of lemon to be squeezed into the bowl just before serving to add just a small additional lemon brightness to the soup.
Don’t worry whether you can’t find red quinoa, plain quinoa works jus as well in this recipe.
Leftovers from our One Hour Broiled Lemon Chicken recipe are also great for this recipe.
