Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken, onion, carrots, celery and four cups of water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.

Pour soup through a strainer into a smaller pot. Reserve chicken and discard vegetables. When cool enough to handle, remove chicken from bone and cut into 1/3-inch cubes.

Add chicken cubes, spaghetti, lemon zest, juice, salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well; cook two to three minutes over low heat to heat through.
