Love this soup. Thanks for the recipe. Just made some yesterday.
I think Helen maybe referring to parsley root when she mentions “pietrischka”?

And mine! In fact, I made some Monday which I took to a close friend, who is having to self isolated after displaying Covid-19 symptoms last week. I'm waiting to see how quickly he recovers....how amazing would that be? This could be the soup that saves the world!
Ok, unlikely, but what an nice idea. You and you're loved ones stay safe. Thanks again.

Absolutely perfect soup! My girlfriend's family on her fathers side is Jewish. She me about Lokshen soup and that, as a child, she remembers how she loved her nan's and how sad she was that her nan died without passing the recipe on. I decided I'd give it a go - and this, apparently, tastes EXACTLY the same!! Amazing. Thank you to your friend for sharing.

Loving the straight-talking Jewish commentary :) Honestly - looks like the perfect comfort food, stuff your kids remember as that soup mum makes when I'm sick..

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
