Lemon Chicken Soup

1 onion, minced
3-5 garlic cloves
1/2 chicken
3 bay leaves, broken
1 can chicken broth
2 cups chopped potatoes, zucchini, carrots, and celery
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Heat oil on medium high in a large pot. Add the onion, garlic, and chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides. Add the bay leaves and broth and as much water needed to cover chicken. Boil until the meat falls off the bone. Remove chicken and cool. Remove bones and skin then add meat back to the pot. Add the vegetables, salt, pepper, and lemon pepper. Cook until the veggies are tender. Dish into bowls and top with freshly squeezed lemon juice and cilantro.

Made this for dinner tonight. SUPER yummy!! It's nice because it's a very light soup, unlike all the yummy cream based soups. The only thing I would do differently next time is add lemon to the broth while it's cooking. Just a titch :)
