Mediterranean Chicken and Lemon Soup

I made this without the red pepper simply because I didn't have any at hand. It was still very good and in fact I'm not sure I'll include it next time, also I'll half the amount of chicken next time. The lovely broth and rice are the stars of this soup. It's rich and lemony and a real treat to this lemon lover.

Yum! A ace, number #1 soup. This was so good, I had to keep tasting and tasting, and tasting. Until I ate a whole bowl! Man this was wonderful, and I followed this exactly, except not making it super thick. My Dh wanted x3 bowls, so there wasn't much left....I'm glad I took the time to eat earlier. Perfect soup for a perfect day. Thank you!Reply

A delicious soup. I did not use the bell pepper simply because I did not have any, and used a combo of milk and cream, as I could not find the evaporated milk. I added more broth and would do so again, as I like my soups a bit more brothy. I would also add the garlic a little earlier, as mine was still a bit raw. A very nice and filling soup.Reply
