Okay, so the user is asking me to list all the ingredients for a lemon chicken soup with spinach and pasta, using bullet points with SEO-friendly formatting and including relevant keywords. Hmm, first I need to figure out exactly what they're looking for.
Well, they mentioned "lemon chicken soup," which suggests it's a dish combining chicken, soup base, maybe some veggies like carrots or celery, and then adding spinach and pasta. I should make sure to include all those components without missing anything important.
SEO-friendly bullet points usually mean using keywords smartly so that the recipe is easily found when people search for similar dishes. So I'll need to incorporate terms like "lemon chicken soup," "spinach and pasta recipe," maybe "how-to cook" or something along those lines.
I should break down each ingredient with a brief description. For example, "Chicken breast (boneless)" could be bullet points under the main ingredients. That way, it's organized and easy to read.
Wait, I need to make sure that each step is clear. Maybe starting with the chicken preparation, then moving on to the soup base, followed by the veggies, and finally adding spinach and pasta towards the end of the list. That logical flow will help anyone follow along easily.
Oh, and don't forget to mention optional additions like extra cheese or herbs, just in case someone wants a bit more flair. Including that as an optional step can make the recipe more flexible for different tastes.
I also want to ensure that each bullet point is concise but informative enough. Using keywords within those points will help with SEO without making it look cluttered. For example, "Lemon juice" could be part of both the chicken and the soup base sections.
Let me outline this in my mind: start with chicken, then the soup base (tomato sauce, broth, maybe some garlic), followed by veggies like carrots and celery for depth. Then add spinach as a garnish or top, and finally the pasta towards the end to ensure it's cooked well.
I think that covers everything. Now I'll structure each ingredient into its own bullet point with clear sections so the user can easily find each part.

Steps
<think>
Okay, so I need to write about making lemon chicken soup with spinach and pasta. Hmm, let me think through this step by step.
First off, I should probably outline what someone might do when they want to make this dish. Maybe start with the ingredients? Oh right, you'll need boneless chicken breasts, maybe a couple of lemons for the sauce, garlic, onions, spinach, pasta like penne or fusilli would be good, and some broth or water.
Then, the steps: probably start by prepping the chicken, maybe cutting it into chunks. Sautéing onions and garlic until golden brown because that's traditional. Then sautéing the spinach with a splash of lemon juice to get it cooking and add some acidity. Making sure to cook it just till it's tender but not overcooked.
After that, adding the chicken back in while blending the lemon汁 into the soup for the sauce. Simmer until everything is cooked through. Then mix in the pasta once it's ready so they don't stick. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Oh wait, maybe also mention the serving suggestion—like garnishing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese on top if someone wants to add that extra flavor. Also, making sure to note how this dish is versatile for different diets, like vegan options by substituting veggies instead.
I should remember to use SEO-friendly keywords so it's easier for search engines to pick up. Words like "Lemon Chicken Soup," "recipe," "ingredients," "steps," etc., would be good. Also structure the text with headers and subheaders for better readability since I'm supposed to avoid markdown but maybe using headings is okay here.
I need to make sure each step is clear and concise, avoiding any overly complicated language so it's accessible for everyone. Maybe number them as steps 1 through 5 or something like that. Also, include some tips on preparation, like rinsing the pasta well after draining to keep it from sticking.
Wait, should I mention optional ingredients? Like maybe adding mushrooms or herbs if someone wants a bit more complexity. That could add flexibility for different preferences.
Alright, putting it all together: starting with ingredients list, then step by step instructions with clear headings, followed by serving suggestions and tips. Maybe wrap it up with some notes on adjusting the recipe based on what's available.
