Lemon chicken soup

I decided to try something new and ordered the lemon chicken from a Chineese restaurant, it was really good. I really like soup and was looking up lemon chicken soup recipes, they all involved a croc-pot. I am not a big croc-pot user, so I decided to try to come up with something inspired from the recipe i saw online. I saute the vegetables before putting in soup to save time. It came out very good. I also like to cook chicken myself & not use rotisserie chicken from the store in soup.
