New Recipe Challenge #4: Lemon Chicken Soup
Recipe #4: Lemon Chicken Soup (from Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Complete Cookbook)
Difficulty: Low The hardest part is making sure to whisk the soup contiunually for about 5 minutes after you introduce the egg yolk/broth mixture to avoid curdling
Rating: Fair I have made Avgolemono (Egg Lemon) soup before, just not with this recipe that uses chicken broth and canned chicken and rice soup for the base. I prefer to use orzo noodles instead of the rice and I did add extra lemon juice to the stock and squeezed more fresh juice on my bowl.
Nik had some of the soup and liked it, so I think I will make a different recipe (with orzo) soon.

New Recipe Challenge: Recipe #3
Recipe #3:Southwestern Turkey Chili and Corn Bread (from Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Complete Cookbook)
Difficulty: Low
Rating: Need a Redo on the Chili Since I couldn't find spicy black beans at my grocery store and grabbed regular stewed tomatoes instead of the mexican style, I was forced to spice up the dish myself. I added all purpose spice mix, garlic salt and onion powder, which worked OK, but was not as the recipe was intended. I thought the cornbread was excellent, but Gary thought it was too crumbly and watery.
