This Classic Jewish Deli Soup Reminds Me of My Mother
My mom really wasn’t a great cook, which I sometimes think is why I was so interested in food and cooking. She had four kids and making dinner every night was not a thrill for her, to say the least. But she did have her specialties like barbecued steak and great California salads. And this delicious soup is the taste memory I think about and make when it’s cold and I’m feeling nostalgic. I prepare a pot of this and invite friends to stop by and have a casual dinner.
