If you like the flavor of lemon, Arborio rice and chicken then this soup is worth trying.  Thick like a porridge or thin like soup it's a winner and sure to satisfy.  

For mine, I used a very straight forward and easy recipe provided by Chef John at Foodwishes.com.  All 'ya gotta do is follow the link below for the instructional video.
