This one pot Lemon Dill Chicken Noodle Soup is bursting with bright flavors and is sure to awaken your taste buds.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
TIP: I love to double make this lemon dill chicken soup recipe in my nine quart dutch oven.
Add carrots and onion.
Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until beginning to soften.
Add chicken broth and water.
TIP: If you'd like to add even more flavor to this soup, you can substitute additional chicken broth for the water.
Bring to a boil. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
TIP: Because this soup contains a lot of pasta and chicken, don't be shy about adding the salt and pepper!
Add chicken breasts to pot.
Reduce to a simmer, cooking chicken for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove chicken and set aside. Bring to a boil. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
Bring broth back to a boil and add pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente.
TIP: To make this soup easier to eat - especially when serving to children! - you'll want to select smaller shaped pasta like farfelle. Many companies make mini sized pasta that are perfect. I've even used alphabet letters which is always a hit!
Meanwhile, chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. When pasta is al dente, add chicken back to pot.
Stir together to combine.
Add chopped dill and lemon juice. Bring broth back to a boil and add pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente.
Stir together soup to fully incorporate lemon and dill.
