Lemon Chicken Soup

Recipe #295605 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef #804551

A light and flavorful lemon check soup with fresh ingredients. Low Fat. I found this recipe on the Internet when I was looking for a Greek lemon soup recipe. I did not want a recipe that asked for egg yolks. I am posting the recipe with my revisions to the original.
