Loved it! I made it because my Dad,Brother and Boyfriend all had colds. I added some celery& the carrots could use a little longer cooking time.I skippped the grated cheese until serving. A different spin to chicken soup, lemon makes it light and fresh.

I made this on a whim yesterday on a cold Winter day. I only had 1 lemon and small shell pasta instead of spaghetti. I threw in a can of canellini beans as someone else suggested to make it more substantial. Well, this soup hit the spot! It's very customizable to whatever you have on hand. I could definitely taste the lemon flavor. I would suggest to add the juice from one lemon first, taste and add more if you see fit.

Very delicious recipe. The lemon makes it light and fresh and goes really well with the pea pesto croustinni! Just be careful if you decide to double the recipe, either add more stock or lessen the amount of lemon juice. Over all, this is my favorite soup!

Very easy recipe and my new favorite chicken soup! The lemon adds a fresh and new taste to tradtional chicken soup. I used fresh parmesan cheese--all was great.

I give it an A for quick easy weeknight meal! I doubled the recipe for my family of 4. Added 1/2 teaspoon ground sage, and 1/4 teaspoon of thyme. I agree with the other reviews to skip cheese while cooking and add when plating and carrots need extra cooking time. I served this with garlic cheese bread.

Definitely a soup for lemon lovers! Delicious after a bit of fiddling around. I added 2 cups more broth, skipped the grated cheese which adheres to the parsley and sinks to the bottom of the pot, making a big mess to clean. I suggest adding grated romano to individual portions when plating. Agree with other reviews that carrots need a more time in the broth to soften properly. I'd add an additional 10 minutes to the carrot-cooking time. Then proceed as advertised, with exception of grated cheese.

I just made this soup - very delicious. I made a few changes by adding sauted celery, onion and garlic, adding 4 extra cups of broth, and one can cannellini beans. Also I added one more lemon - it is delicious - I love your recipes Giada - you are one of my favorites - thanks

This soup is DELICIOUS! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced against the chicken.

My changes were minor . . . orzo vs. spaghetti, all parmesan instead of romano, pan fried chicken breast in place of a rotissierre, nothing that would have affected the recipe dramatically. Finished with salt, a few pinches of crushed red pepper and white pepper.

I love recipes like this, you can change it up so many ways between the vegetables and pasta you use. My husband really loved this soup! Very simple, easy, affordable and delicious!!!! Love your recipes Giada! Keep doing what you do!

Not bad, but too lemony for me. If I try it again, I will not only reduce the lemon juice but add stock as others have suggested.
