Greek Lemon Soup
This soup is proof that less is more.Delicious hot, it's even better cold, so plan to make it the day before you need it. Serve it in well chilled bowls and float a paper-thin slice of lemon on top. I got this from the Silver Palate Cookbook. Update: I have changed a few things to make this more user friendly, due to some of the reviews. So please read the reviews and make according to your taste.
