ETHEL HOFMAN SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
I:I
n a cold winter's day, there's
nothing to beat a bowl of
hot and hearty homemade
soup. Or, for that matter, a
light-lemony broth dusted with
aromatic fresh herbs that fits in
just as well at an elegant dinner
party as at a family supper.
Soup is the most forgiving and
the easiest of dishes to prepare. It
can wait on the back of the stove
for an hour or so, or in the refrig-
erator, ready to heat for latecom-
ers. As for measurement, a little
more or less won't hurt.
If a vegetable soup is too thin,
thicken with pasta, mashed pota-
toes or extra bits and pieces of veg-
etables softened in the microwave.
Add shredded cooked meats and
poultry and you'll have a glorious
one-dish meal. And with the con-
venience of fresh prepared veg-
etables such as cauliflower and
broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms
and combination spices bursting
with flavor, preparation is effort-
less.
The recipes below are uncom-
plicated versions of soups tradi-
tional to Ashkenazic and
Sephardic Jewish cuisine and
servings are generous. There
won't be much left over, but if
there is, soups freeze beautiful-
ly.
