fill  pot with all ingredients except parsley and lemon (they should go in right before you serve the meal)
let soup reach a boil then let it simmer for about 30 minutes.  Then add cut up parsley (fresh is best) and lemon serve up and enjoy.  keep lemon juice or cut lemons on the table as a choice to add more flavor if you like.
