Lemon "Chicken" and Vegetable Soup

The Chef: Liz

The Menu: A lovely, blended vegetable soup of potatoes, carrots, celery, and just a touch of something spicy, a side of brown rice, a slice of yummy ciabatta, and a sample of Match Meats Ground Chicken that Liz prepared with a Lemon Confit and Pumpkin Seed sauce. Hearty? Check. Warm? Check. Totally contrasted the near-freezing (literally!) temperatures we experienced today? Check.

The Goods: It is definitely winter. Everyone was back in the office and this slightly spicy soup was just the thing to revive our staffers who are fighting colds and to warm up the rest of us who were turning into popsicles. Really, it's very chilly.
