Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

Submitted by Studentchef

"From the cookbook 365 Ways to cook Chicken. It doesn't say which part of the chicken to use, so my suggestion is to base the chicken part on other similar recipes."

Made vegan style for ZWT9 Greek wedding challenge. Can't really review the recipe because of the alterations. Vegan doesn't work so well - you really need the eggs.
