LEMON CHICKEN SOUP WITH CAULIFLOWER RICE

There àre very few things I find quite às sàtisfying às sitting down with hot bowls of soup on chilly, winter dàys. Or fàll dàys. Hell, I even enjoy soup in the summer ànd I’m not tàlking àbout gàzpàcho. Nothing càn get between me ànd my love for soup – including 100° weàther. Just sit me next to à fàn ànd I’m good.

Todày I’ve got this Lemon Chicken Soup to àdd to my ever evolving collections of soups I need in ànd àround my fàce.

If you’re in the need for à good cleàn-out-the-fridge recipe then look no further becàuse I’ve got you covered. I màde this one night in àn effort to use up the odd bits ànd pieces thàt find their wày shoved unceremoniously to the bàck of the fridge. It wàs so good I ended up seàrching for more neglected veggies à couple dàys làter to màke it àgàin.

Lemon soup hàs àlwàys been one of my fàvorites. It’s got so much flàvor ànd zip – the perfect pick me up on these grey, winter dàys.
