This is pure, elegant comfort food for this time of year. We are all looking forward to spring yet it is still dreary... If you have homemade chicken stock I recommend pulling it out for this dish - but if not; find the best quality store bought you can find. This is not your ordinary chicken soup as you will discover ... mushrooms, leeks, garlic, lemon and fresh herbs enhance the flavor and make this a decadent treat for those you wish to share it with. Yes folks - I have a fancy side...I'm not just a deep fried everything kind of gal! Who would've ever "thunk it"!!!
