Murat's Chicken Soup

Soul food for everyone! This is about as basic and simple a chicken soup as you can get. It's really nice when you get sick (G-d fahbid!)

Ingredients

1/8 cup olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
Handful of chopped baby carrots (optional; I don't like cooked carrots ruining my soup!)
3 small potatoes, diced
2 gloves of garlic, chopped or minced
1/2 tsp. oregano
3+ T. lemon juice
Huge bunch of fresh dill, chopped
2 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

1. In a large soup pot, saute the onion in the olive oil. When it is almost translucent, add the garlic and saute that, too (tends to burn, be careful!)

2. Add the diced potatoes and chopped celery and fill the pot with water so it just covers all the ingredients

3. Add the chicken breast, lemon juice, oregano and dill to the pot. Cover with additional water if needed.

4. Allow to simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

5. Once the chicken is cooked, pull it out of the pot and shred it with a knife; return shredded chicken to the pot

6. Salt and pepper to taste; voila!
