Absolutely delicious!! Great flavor!
Everyone loves this Every year my community makes a Chanukah party for the ladies and girls. This soup has become The Chanukah soup. It began when the organizers wanted food contributions, and hey, who needs more fried, sugar and the like? This soup always disappears down to the last drop.
Another detail to this story is that last year Fox Home was having a major sale in December, my birthday month. Because it was my birthday month, they give you a special discount on whatever you want. Between the birthday discount and points accrued on my Fox Home card and the major sale they were having anyway, it was my birthday present to walk out of that store with a free pot! And that is the pot for this Chanukah soup.
