How do you add flavor to chicken soup?
I like to add some lemon juice at the end to brighten up all of the flavors. You could also add some fresh herbs. The key is making sure the soup has enough salt. Before I serve the soup I like to taste the broth and add more salt if it needs it. If you have added too much salt simply add more broth. You could even add some heavy cream to make it extra luxurious.
