When Kosher.com reached out to me to develop a recipe using the Manishewitz cello packets, I immediately smiled and thought of my Bubby, who would always use them in her soup. She was famous for her soup – I would go to her home every Thursday night and it was always part of our meal. When I was a child, she would blend it for me because I didn’t like all the pieces. I am so happy to be able to share my Bubby’s delicious and hearty soup – I hope it warms your family as much as it has mine.
2 cello packets Manischewitz Vegetable with Mushroom Soup Mix
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, chopped
1 leek (white part only), chopped
2 to 3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 to 3 stalks celery, diced
2 (8-ounce) boxes mushrooms, sliced
1 zucchini, diced
2 teaspoons salt
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Glicks Flour
8 to 9 cups water or broth, such as Manischewitz Vegetable Broth
Rinse beans and peas.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot. Sauté onion, leek, carrots, and celery until sweating and softening. Add zucchini and mushrooms and sauté until liquid from mushrooms starts evaporating.
Add flour and mix.
Add beans and peas, reserving flavor packets for later.
Add eight to nine cups water, bring to a boil and then reduce to a strong simmer.
Cook until beans are soft (this can take an hour).
Add small seasoning packets and cook for additional 10 minutes.

Are there any substitutes for the soup packets? I can’t find them where I live.
Hi Chaya,
I’m sorry you can’t find them where you live! Hmm it’s hard to find an exact substitute. I would say gather some peas, barely, lima beans, egg noodles, and soup seasoning mix from your local grocery store. There isn’t an exactly substitute, but I’m sure your soup will come out delicious either way!

I purchase the cello soups from Amazon.
Thanks! I don’t believe Amazon ships food to Israel. Thanks for the idea, though.
I never did try this soup so I appreciate the notification, too 🙂
The recipe looks so delicious! Can it be made in a slow cooker? If so, what changes need to be made? Thanks 🙂
Erin says that this soup can be made in a slow cooker- you may need to just add more water.
Great and easy soup.
I put it up before work and it’s ready for lunch time to feel lots of people home and feeling under the weather.
I added a little more water as it got very thick very quickly and had to adjust the salt and pepper accordingly.
Warm, easy and filling. Yay!
