She also provides a hearty winter variation. The flavors develops with time and this soup is definitely at its best on the second day.
Laurie Gerstman shares this recipe.
In 2003, Bernie Mayoff and Art Mayoff discovered that this seems to be a Mayoff family tradition. Both Meyer Mayoff’s family (Abr) and Moe Mayoff’s family (Sam) prepared this dish and used similar recipes. Served cold, it is refreshing and nutritious.

We tend to serve this at most large family holiday get-togethers, like Thanksgiving, Rosh Hashanah, or any time that a kugel might be appropriate.
Laurie Gerstman gives credit for the organization of this soup to Agnes Campbell. It is one with little to no exact measurements and lots of room for personalization.
Warning: This recipe makes a lot of soup, so be prepared to share it, freeze it or get tired of it.
