The Jewish Star




Seeking Jewish Penicillin

What need have we for medicine if chicken soup is simmering on the stovetop?
An exaggeration, perhaps, but chicken soup is credited with remarkable restorative properties.


The National Jewish Outreach Program is seeking the nation’s best chicken soup recipe to coincide with its 13th annual Shabbat Across America on March 20 — Parshat Mishpatim/Shabbat Shekalim.

Chicken soup is a universal Jewish food and there’s nothing more universally Jewish, or restorative, for that matter, than Shabbat — the point that NJOP is trying to make.

The contest rules are simple: your recipe has gotta be kosher and it’s gotta be submitted by March 2 to contests at njop.org. Click here for more info.
