My mom, grandmother(both born in NY) and great grandmother (born in Russia) all made their soups with a whole chicken, carrots, parsnips, assorted herbs, onions and whatever other item caught their fancy and looked good at the market. My Mom used to say that a good soup should "taste green" and our family used to joke that the reason we always had leftovers after the seder on Passover was that no one had room for the main course after the matzoh ball soup. Keep cooking! Your recipes look great. Just wanted to tell you, my family’s “traditional” Matzoh Ball Soup bears a greater resemblance to your “shiksa version” than what you describe as traditional.

I should have known better than to read Barb’s blog before I go to lunch. It’s also especially bad when she fixes things that I’ve been craving for -SUCH- a long time.

Mmm…Matzo Soup.

The only such soup I’ve had has been Bryian’s “Tom’s sick and coughing, give him soup” variety but with my seasonal impersonation of a Dragonlance Mage finally coming to an end, I’m missing the usual remedy. :)

Keep it coming Barb. Not that I could ever replicate some of your culinary formulas but I love reading about them.

Later Fury. :)
