Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Microplane
  • Carrot Peeler

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • 4 large cloves garlic chopped
  • 3 large carrots peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes (1 ¾ cups)
  • 3 celery stalks halved lengthwise and sliced ½-inch thick (1 cup)
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth stock or bone broth
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
  • 4 tablespoon chopped fresh dill + more for serving
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz. of rotini pasta I used Banza gluten free rotini

Instructions

  • Saute the onions and ground chicken in the oil in a pan on the stove until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are translucent and slightly browned.
  • Add the garlic cloves and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Carefully dump the rest of the ingredients except the pasta in your slow cooker.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours until the veggies are soft.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, cook your rotini pasta according to the package directions.
  • Stir the cooked pasta into the soup.
  • Serve with extra dill sprinkled on top if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't skip the lemon zest and juice – they add a bright, refreshing note to the soup.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Fresh herbs are key to enhancing the flavor of the soup, so don't be afraid to be generous with them.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
