I love this soup. Love it. And it's so easy.
1 cup rice
juice of one lemon and water to equal 2 cups. (For me it was 1 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup lemon juice)
zest of one lemon
Make rice as you usually would. I used my rice cooker.
Saute 1 small onion in 2 TBSP olive oil
Add 3 carrots diced
2 celery stalks, diced
6 cups chicken stock (home made is always best. I cheat and use bullion cubes)
2 cups diced cooked chicken (I used half a roasted chicken from the store)
Bring to a boil, then let simmer until vegetables are soft
Add in Lemon rice and simmer until ready to serve.
Delicious

Quinoa Chocolate Cake
I love pinterest. So easy to find recipes on there. I will just leave you with a picture of my finished product and a link to the page I got the recipe from. Click Here.
I will say the first time I made this cake, I stacked the layers and used a chocolate butter cream frosting on the whole cake. It was delicious but so sweet all my guests left half of the cake on their plates. So this time I left it as single layers with just a touch of butter cream. The result was much better.
