As June ends, we are closing soup season in Malawi.

What I love about a great soup is the balance in flavors, even with a multitude of ingredients mixed together. If I’m being honest, lemons are behind that balance. So, for #GlobalApron this week, I chose lemon as my star ingredient. Though largely invisible, it provides the much-needed balance in our culinary endeavors.
