You guys? I’ve done it. I have finally done it.
If you’ve been reading for any period of time, you know what usually happens when I use lemons in a recipe. They ruin my life. Almost always.
But not this time. This recipe from Sam the Cooking Guy: Awesome Recipes & Kitchen Shortcuts had just the right amount of lemon to make it taste fresh and vaguely citrus-y, but without making me want to cry from the strength of the lemons. You’ll want to use small lemons for this one, but it all worked out this time. I was shocked.
It wasn’t quite as soupy as I expected (and since the cookbook doesn’t have pictures of this one, I’m not sure what it was supposed to look like), so if you want your soup more the consistency of soup, add another half a cup to cup of chicken broth. If you’re OK with a more porridgey feel to it, leave it as-is.
I know a lot of the U.S. is battling the winter weather right now, so this would be a good recipe if you’re having a “need some soup” kind of evening.
