NO-CHICKEN SOUP
This is my "trademark" recipe--I make it every single week! It is so rich and flavorful I like it more than "traditional" chicken soup. Although the secret ingredient--sassafras--isn't essential, it deepens the flavor. Powdered sassafras leaves can be found in supermarkets in the spice section. It's also called "fil'e" or "gumbo fil'e." If your market has a "Cajun" or "Creole" section, you might be able to find it there too. It's a classic Cajun seasoning, but it's also good in just about everything.

Steps:
- Warm oil in a soup pot large enough to hold 10 cups over medium heat.
- Saute onion until golden brown.
- Add all other ingredients.
- Simmer over low heat until reduced by about 1/4. (For me that usually takes about 2 hours). If the soup reduces too quickly before the vegetables are cooked, add a little water and continue cooking.
- You may also put all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook the soup on low for about 6 hours and high for about 3 (very approximate times!).
- Correct the seasoning--add sassafras and/or fresh black pepper if you like.
- This soup is excellent served with cooked egg noodles or garlic-flavored bagel chips.

BASIC CHICKEN SOUP
Everyone has their own favorite chicken soup recipe, but rarely have so few ingredients added up to so much comfort. This version has classic flavors and, thanks to a simplified method, cooks more quickly than traditional chicken soups (the dish is ready in a little over an hour). There's no need to make a separate stock; the vegetables and meat form their own satisfying broth.

NOT-CHICKEN SOUP
This veggie chicken soup is based on a Mollie Katzen recipe. Instead of discarding the vegetable I sometimes mash them, add some eggs, oil and matzo meal and make them into a kugel.

Steps:
- Combine everything in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat, and partially cover.
- Cook slowly for 1-2 hours.
- Turn off heat and let soup cool to room temperature.
- Strain out and discard all the vegetables.
- Heat gently just before serving.
- We cook matzoh balls separately and add them to the soup as we serve it.
- Matzoh balls cooked or reheated in the soup will turn a beautiful golden color thanks to the turmeric.
Tips
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavor your soup will have. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leeks.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really take your soup to the next level. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, and pepper.
- Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can simmer your soup for a shorter period of time, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Serve your soup with a variety of toppings. Some good options include croutons, cheese, sour cream, and chopped herbs.
Conclusion
Not-chicken soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a good source of nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give not-chicken soup a try.
