Come for Soup

I promised this wasn't going to be a cooking blog and it's not. BUT.....remember that fable Stone Soup from childhood?  Yes that one! The ultimate farce where selfish villagers are tricked into being hospitable, giving and kind with the promise of soup magically made from just stones!
Disclaimer: I don't make stone soup. I do however make lots of scrap broth.

Scrap Broth

The thing is we in the Kalish home love soup. It's economical, it's healthy, it's delicious. As any chef will tell you, every good soup starts with stock, a broth etc. In the good old US of A I was spoiled by Trader's Joes, Imagine and Tabatchnick boxed broths. These don't exist in Israel. What does exist is a huge variety of MSG powders in every color of the rainbow. Enter scrap broth, otherwise know as what Shulamit does with all those veg peels, tops, tails and otherwise less desirable/edible parts of vegetables instead of composting. Not that I'm opposed to composting. Composting is great. But for us in the concrete jungle of Jerusalem scrap broth just makes so much more sense. 

So come for soup, fennel soup, carrot dill soup, tomato roasted red pepper or mushroom red lentil. We're here!
