      Title: CREAM OF LEMON SOUP
 Categories: Soups/stews, Ethnic, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 oz Butter
      2    Onions, skinned and thinly
           -diced
      3 oz Carrots, peeled and thinly
           -sliced
      3 oz Celery, trimmed and thinly
           -sliced
      2    Lemons
      2 pt Chicken stock
      2    Bay leaves
           Salt and freshly ground
           -pepper
      5    Fluid oz. light cream
 
  Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the vegetables. Cover the
  pan and stew gently for 10 to 15 minutes, until vegetables begin to
  soften. Meanwhile, thinly pare the lemons using a potato peeler.
  Blanch the rinds in boiling water.  Add the rinds and juice, stock
  and bay leaves to the saucepan. Season with salt and pepper and bring
  to the boil. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes or until both celery and
  carrots are very tender. Cool the soup a little, remove the bay
  leaves, then puree the pan contents in a blender until smooth. Return
  the soup to a clean pan and reheat gently, stirring in the cream.  Do
  not boil. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Garnish with chopped spring
  onions or chives and lemon slices.
  
  May be served hot or chilled.
