Lemon Soup--Almost an Aperitif

Submitted by Bayou Andy

"Now that summer is past, I have found this most refreshing welcoming drink for next year (or even now). It is served in a champagne glass when you arrive at the Levy-East Home (a bed and breakfast in Natchitoshes, Louisiana on the Cane River). Don't let the name fool you...it reminds me of a liquified lemon icebox pie. It can even be used as an opening course. It is very refreshing and good."
