    I dunno about the lemon. Seems weird for soup.

      I actually think lemon can add a nice zest to the soup! It wakes up the flavors. Give it a try!

    I think there were too many ingredients. Dificult to prepare as a beginner.

    Too much lemon for my taste, it overtakes everything. I like lemon but not this much.

      Lemon’s supposed to be tangy but too much can ruin it… I might cut it down next time.

      I thought the lemon really brightened up the soup! Maybe you just used too much? πŸ˜…

    Quick and easy recipe, but I think there are better chicken soups out there. Just okay. ⭐⭐⭐

      Nah, I make a better one with a lot more spices and veggies. This sounds too basic for me.

      I actually loved this soup! The lemon really brightens it up. I wouldn’t say it’s the best ever, but for a quick meal, it does the job!

    Too lemony for my taste, but the chicken was cooked great! Maybe cut back on the lemon juice? πŸ€”

      Too much lemon? How can that be? It’s a lemon soup! πŸ˜… But I guess everyone likes it different.

      I think the lemon gives it a nice zing! Maybe you just need to balance it with some more spices? 🌿

    I had a hard time with the orzo. It got mushy! Next time, I will try a different pasta. πŸ˜•

    Had a little trouble finding orzo in stores, but it was worth the hunt! Yummy!

      Glad you found the orzo! It’s such a tasty addition to the soup. I loved it too! πŸ˜‹

    2. 3 stars
      Orzo? What’s that? Is it like rice or somethin’? I just used regular pasta and it turned out fine.
