Lemon Chicken Rice Soup

 Mat (Indiana) says:
I love thick Lemon Rice Soup, and I used only 5 cups chicken broth, and I had to add a few more tbsp of flour to make it thick. Next time I am only using 4 or maybe even 3 cups of broth, and more lemon juice as I could barely taste the lemon. Also, I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving instead of chicken. It was great.
