I make hardly any salads for the first course (sometimes I skip that course in the summer, personally I'd rathe have chicken soup than fish any day of the week!) but people do eat a lot of Challa. I serve fish, one salad, and Chummous (bought) chatzilim and maybe some other of those israeli tub salads.

Also gefilta fish is really really expensive here, like $9 a roll so I hate buying it.

I usually get a few requests for seconds. I make my soup full of veggies and lots of garlic. We also have garlic matza balls! Very Happy

No I do not boil the water first. I forgot to mention that I use a big pot, and freeze for another 2-3 weeks. When I take soup from the freezer, I add a turkey neck bones, squash, and carrots.

Most everyone finishes theirs, but once in a while someone leaves some at the bottom.

I also have people ask for seconds. My soup is not so rich friday night though very tasty, but come shabbos after shul it turnes into a rich chulent. Yep it serves dual duty.


What's in this dual-purpose soup of yours? Do you keep it in a crock pot or on the cooktop?

I've found from experience that celery ROOT is the secret to a great soup.

My dh makes a great soup, he uses tonz of veggies etc.

I am personally not a soup person and never truly developed a soup "taste".

I almost never ask for soup if I'm a guest unless I'm at some1 I feel comfortable not finishing the bowl clean.

IMO alot of ppls problems with not finishing their soup, as I've noticed from our guests, is because they are so full from being stuffed at the first course.

I really enjoy making tonz of salads for the fish course and my father pointed out that ppl are busy filling up from the 1st course that they almost never have room for soup, or even chicken.

So don't underestimate your soup abilities.

It may not be that your soup isn't coming out right, it could be the guests are busy filling themsleves with your other delicious foods first Yes !!!
