Great Dinner Recipe Ideas for Rosh Hashanah

The Jewish New Year holiday, Rosh Hashanah, is a two day holiday when Jews celebrate this happy occasion, but also they are very solemn. They are solemn due to the fact they are in repentance, but happy that God is merciful and good. During this two day holiday many Jews will have lengthy prayer services followed by a festive holiday meal. Now you may need some ideas what kinds of recipes will be great to have during your Rosh Hashanah dinner and I would like to share a couple of mine with you.

Chicken Soup

Ingredient:

3 carrots
4 celery sticks
3 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cooked and cut into small pieces
2 onions (chopped)
1 small parsley root
salt, pepper and chicken soup powder to taste
48 oz carton of Swanson's Chicken Soup Broth

Directions:

1. Place in a large pot chicken broth, spices, and cut up chicken.
2. Place on medium - high heat and bring to a boil.

3. If you need to add more water at this time, go ahead, but only add a cup or two at a time. You do not want to water down your broth.

4. Add vegetables, reduce heat to medium, and cover

5. Allow to cook for another 2 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. You do not want to over cook it because the vegetable will get soggy.

Served best with Matzo balls.
