Lemon-Chicken Velvet Soup image

I'm not fond of lemons myself--they're a bit tart for my palate. But why not share this gorgeous-looking soup with all of you lemon lovers? It's so visually appealing, I just couldn't resist. If you enjoy the classic "Lemon Chicken", this beauty is enhanced with crisp green snap peas and fresh parsley, making it the perfect springtime soup. I'm sure you could use prepared rotisserie chicken to save time--I often prefer it because of its tenderness and flavor. Here's hoping this soup from Taste Of Home is as tasty as it looks!
