When I was expecting her first grandchild, Mom wanted to be called \u201cGrandma Honey.\u201d Mom had high hopes. My children called her \u201cHoney\u201d and it stuck. Even their friends think that that\u2019s her name.<\/p>\n<p>My mother is the most reliable person I know. When I was in high school, she knew the names of all my classmates, which came in handy in case of party crashers. If she didn\u2019t recognize your name, you didn\u2019t get in. She read every paper I ever wrote. Now she reads every column and story \u2013 she even read every word of my cookbook before any editor saw it. But her comments are hardly \u201ccritiques.\u201d (It sure has been hard for me, hanging that moon every night.)<\/p>\n<p>Like most women raising children in the fifties, Mom had a limited, albeit delicious repertoire, but presentation is where she shined. Her table was gorgeous \u2013 gleaming silver, the finest cut linen cloths, gorgeous fruit platters and accessories she made herself, such as a bridal gown for the doll that graced the buffet for every machatunim dinner. As a chubby little girl in ballet class, I could barely bring my foot to the barre, but I learned as soon as I could walk how to set a table, which way the knife faced and how to fold a napkin.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to name one dish that has sealed forever her culinary reputation, it would be her chicken soup. I know. You all think your mom\u2019s chicken soup is the best. Sorry. It\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>You want an unbiased testimonial? Here is an actual message on my answering machine from my friend Diane Weiss in New Jersey after she received my cookbook: \u201cJudy? I just made your mother\u2019s chicken soup, and my whole family is standing around the pot slurping with a straw!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mom\u2019s soup is dark golden in color, intensely flavorful, and, in short, a heavenly elixir. I hoard the leftovers to use on special occasions in recipes calling for chicken stock (the real secret of my stuffing and gravy).<\/p>\n<p>You see, my mother adheres to the &#8220;if some is good, more is better&#8221; school of cooking. While this theory usually spells disaster in the kitchen (notably in her meat loaf!), it is the method of choice in making chicken soup. And this is one case where the method is as important as the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the secret? When it comes to vegetables, Mom really packs it in! Oh, does she laugh when she sees recipes for chicken soup calling for three carrots and two ribs of celery. She puts the whole produce market into that soup!<\/p>\n<p>While other recipes for chicken soup instruct you to add water to cover, don\u2019t do that, says Mom. You want a heavenly elixir or weak tea? Two-thirds of the way up the pot is plenty. As the soup cooks, the vegetables will sink and will be covered soon enough. Eight to ten cups of water total is plenty for this highly flavorful brew. Use as much chicken and vegetables as you can pack into your pot, or conversely, use as little water as possible, to produce the most intense flavor. Resist the temptation, says Mom, to get a little more soup by adding a little more water.<\/p>\n<p>Mom\u2019s soup is the dillliest. She uses fresh baby dill and lots of it. And when we\u2019re reheating the soup to serve, she sneaks in another bunch.<\/p>\n<p>After cooking the soup, she reserves the carrots to be sliced into the soup later. Then she squeezes the remaining vegetables well through a strainer for extra flavor. Of course, if we are freezing the soup, we discard (who am I kidding \u2013 we eat!) the carrots and cook fresh sliced carrots later for serving.<\/p>\n<p>Mom is ninety now and still making that soup. This year we really had to think ahead, because I was on a book tour right before Passover. We cooked and froze as much as we could for the Seder, but somehow we left the soup for the last day before my trip.<\/p>\n<p>We had already cleaned the chickens and bought all the vegetables \u2013 we planned on making 1\u00bd times the recipe, requiring two pots, by the way \u2013 so I brought everything to her house and told her, \u201cI\u2019m running to the beauty parlor. You start cleaning the carrots, and when I get back we\u2019ll make the soup.\u201d When I returned it was done. All of it! I don\u2019t know how she did it. I know I couldn\u2019t clean that mountain of produce in such a short time.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s soup was the best\u2026but then we say that every year! Thank you Mom, for your soup, for your love, and for your encouragement each and every day. Happy Mother\u2019s Day! I love you.<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Judy Bart Kancigor<\/b> is the author of COOKING JEWISH: 532 Great Recipes from the Rabinowitz Family (Workman) and can be found on the web at<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cookingjewish.com\">www.cookingjewish.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Lillian Bart\u2019s Chicken Soup<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Makes about 3 quarts<\/p>\n<p><em>While her exact ingredients vary as the mood hits her, here is Mom\u2019s recipe from a typical day.
