Notes
I used green onion in this recipe but you can substitute a medium sweet onion cut into wedges instead if you like.
Leftover soup can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
My Mother (z”l) used to say that you wanted soup to “smile” (simmer) not “laugh” (bubble) while cooking for the best results.
