It doesn't refer to some sort of corporate, Big Brother badness that really just means they are about to fire you.<BR/><BR/>After all, it's not as though just because lemon is good in this soup we want to throw away the rest of the soup and just eat lemons.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-37848064714952631742008-03-03T12:18:00.000-06:002008-03-03T12:18:00.000-06:00Haha... using synergy in a description of a food s...Haha... using synergy in a description of a food should be banned. That is all time least favorite corporate word. Use complimentary instead, it doe snot make me think of "consultants" and layoffs.JD @ run-thru-life.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196732007819344467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-77814927365539338142008-03-03T10:18:00.000-06:002008-03-03T10:18:00.000-06:00Hola, JD!

It's definitely a sign of confidence in the kitchen when you can look at a recipe, perhaps read a description of it, and know how to tweak it to fit your tastes.<BR/><BR/>The extra lemon juice is a good idea. There's some sort of synergy between the lemon and the rest of the soup that is really fantastic.Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-11709495901965542022008-03-01T19:03:00.000-06:002008-03-01T19:03:00.000-06:00Ok, it gets glowing reviews from both the wife and...Ok, it gets glowing reviews from both the wife and I. You are right about it combining the heartiness of a winter soup and the optimistic spring lemon flavor. We only made a few modification. We used 2/3 cup orzo instead of 1/2 for a more full bodied soup. We of course also used about 4-5 tbsp. of lemon juice cause we are lemon fanatics. Thanks for the recipe!!JD @ run-thru-life.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196732007819344467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-26903279751475208832008-02-29T11:20:00.000-06:002008-02-29T11:20:00.000-06:00Excellent, JD!

Minus the chicken part, unless you count eggs as chickens, which I suppose they are in some form.<BR/><BR/>I think this soup is a really good choice for this time of year: it feels like a harbinger of spring to me, but it's still warm and hearty enough to soothe and sustain you through the bumpy transition from winter to spring.<BR/><BR/>If you open a lemon restaurant, I can think of a few people who would visit frequently. Ask me about my lemon-loving friends who make me look like a total lemon wimp!Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822839939627192494.post-58471147569761605322008-02-24T16:35:00.000-06:002008-02-24T16:35:00.000-06:00Anne and I will have to try this soup, as we are b...Anne and I will have to try this soup, as we are big lemon fans.
