This recipe is adapted from a recipe by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski from "A Taste of Nostalgia: Tales and Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul" with Judi Dick, an Artscroll/Shaar Press editor. Rabbi Twerski enjoys cooking and calls himself a "volume" home cook, making dishes in large quantities and freezing them for later meals. This is Rabbi Twerski's favorite chicken soup.
