airy gets short shrift on the
Sukkot dinner menu.
Jewish cookbooks
typically feature plenty of recipes for
hearty soups and stews, tzimmes and
brisket.
But there's no Halachah, Jewish law,
that says dairy is taboo for the main
meal of the harvest festival.
Soups, stews and casseroles have
become popular at Sukkot, particu-
larly among those living in colder cli-
mates. These dishes are relatively easy
to bring outdoors to the sukkah, and
they're more likely to retain their heat
inside a chilly sukkah far longer than
food presented on platters.
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup
Equipment: Blender and (optional)
soup terrine
2 medium onions, chopped
4 Tbsp. olive oil
5 cups canned or fresh vegetable
broth, or more, if needed
16 medium-sized carrots, peeled
and cut into carrot sticks
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut
into 1-inch chunks
4-inch knob of ginger, peeled and
diced finely
3 cups homogenized milk
salt and white pepper to taste
1.In a medium-sized pot, saute and
stir onions in olive oil until transpar-
ent, about 5 minutes. Add broth, car-
rots, potatoes and ginger. Cover pot
and bring to a boil on a low flame.
Simmer until solids are mushy, about
15 minutes. (Add more broth if mix-
ture becomes dry.)
2.Uncover pot and cool contents for
handling. Ladle contents in 4 batches,
one batch at a time, into a blender
and puree. Pour pureed batches from
blender into a large pot.
3.Add milk to puree. Combine milk
and puree with a spoon. Add salt and
white pepper. Recipe can be prepared
to this point 2 days in advance. Cover
and refrigerate until ready to proceed.
4.Warm soup on a low flame until
simmering. Check seasonings and
adjust. In the meantime, fill a soup ter-
rine with hot water and cover. When
ready to serve soup, discard water and
dry terrine with a towel. Carefully ladle
hot soup into terrine and carry to the
sukkah. Yield: 8-10 servings.
