Method

0
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped carrot and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and 1.5 teaspoons lemon zest; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
1
Add 5 cups broth, the diced potatoes, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon pepper and 0.5 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer; cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.
2
Stir in 3 cups chicken and the chopped capers. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the chicken is heated through, about 5 minutes.
3
Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped spinach; let stand until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in 1.5 cups half-and-half. Divide among 6 bowls. Garnish with additional ground pepper and lemon zest, if desired.
