I’d like to share with you a delicious soup my daughter-in-law, Laya prepares. Friends who have made this recipe have witnessed their family members “licking the plate”! It freezes very well when you double or triple the recipe. This is a perfect recipe for a cold or “blizzard” day! It would also complement your Succos menu.

Check out my delicious Club Matzoh Ball recipe in my book. Freeze them as directed, and you will always have matzoh balls for your soup when you want them.
Made this soup, it just required salt which was not listed in the ingredients, otherwise perfect creamy vegetable soup.
I ALWAYS double the recipe…so I have at least 12 servings. my family literally inhales it!
how many servings does this recipe make?
If dried mushrooms are added, the flavour is even more sensational!
A great way to vary the barley-mushroom default versions. Do you have any ideas for a veggie version that would not use commercial broth?
Use cans of peas & carrots…puree with an immersion hand blender!It’s quick and easy! I ALWAYS double the recipe as my family inhales it! I want to freeze some for later use!
Good question as I thought the same thing. Maybe we can buy a can of peas and carrots and puree it, or buy pureed baby food.
Buy canned or frozen peas & carrots. Puree in blender or with immersion blender.
