Lemon Coriander/ Cilantro Soup (Edit recipe)

Lemon Coriander soup is a clear soup made with refreshing ingredients such as fresh lemon juice, fresh coriander (cilantro) and veggies. The recipe is vegetarian but you can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth and add some shredded chicken to the soup for added nutrition. I love sipping this soup on a rainy day or when I'm down with a flu as it is such a great immunity booster due to the Vitamin C from lemon juice. This soup is also Whole30 compatible, Paleo, Gluten-free and Dairy-free.
