What a truly wonderful soup. So much flavor from a few healthy ingredients. I made this exactly by the recipe and wouldn't change a single thing. It took the 10 mins to remove the stems and julienned but it was still done in 15 mins. If you are looking for a light weight lunch or starter you have found it! The light touch of lemon really sparkles and since I usually always have spinach I'll be making this often :D
