RECIPES Harvest Bounty New York/JTA D 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 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.
