Leek & Lemon Pepper Chicken Soup

Chicken, leek & lemon are a match made in heaven, and if you’re making this soup with leftover roast chicken, you can whip it up in 15 minutes.  Our Lemon & Herb Pepper contains the finest quality, course cracked pepper, Australian grown lemon powder, turmeric, ginger, parsley and dill.  We love it on salads and sandwiches in summer, and in this mood-lifting soup in Winter.
