Notes: Ok, so this makes a lot of soup. I suggest cutting it in half for sure, but keep the lemon the same. I learned about a soup like this while in New York, and it is just SO easy to make and so filling and tasty. Our house is SO COLD!! I am in a down jacket and blanket right now and am STILL freezing, so a warm bowl of filling soup is perfect. Serve it with some amazing bread and you have a super super winner. Plus it is healthy.
