   Doesn't compare to my mom's Chicken Soup.

   Right, there isn't any comparison.

   My mom always made chicken soup with turnips in the broth - I'm not always a fan of that, but when she makes it that way with kreplach, I couldn't imagine it any other way.
   
   We have chicken soup often during the cooler months along with homemade cheese crackers or bread.
   
   The big question is - noodles or rice?

      For me my choice is always noodles but not mushy broth soaked noodles. They have to still have some pasta characteristics when I eat them. I love chicken soup.
      
      Annie, What is kreplach?

      Kreplach is a stuffed dumpling akin to ravioli, wontons etc, but it's Jewish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreplach
      
      I prefer spaghetti noodles, broken into 4ths, for my chicken soup - it stays together well and the kids like it, too.

      Was this ingredient used because of your religious tradition or just because it is a good recipe. If for the first, then I have questions regarding these traditions. SMiles

      No, it's just a recipe. I am not Jewish, mom attended a Messianic Jewish church for some time and came away with some awesome recipes! We did do traditional Seders and Rosh Hashanah meals, though.
