KOSHER STYLE CHICKEN SOUP I grew up on Chicago's near west side, in what was later referred to as a ghetto, with lots of old world Italians, and Jewish folks! The Butcher shops, were almost all Kosher, and the owners spoke Italian as much as we'd kibitz in yiddish.
This is a recipe that I make almost every other week and use the rich broth for a mess of stuff. I don't keep a Kosher kitchen, but I still frequent the Kosher bakery, and meat market and freeze the bagels and chicken until I need them.
This is Mrs Levy's recipe our upstairs neighbor, given to my great aunt at least 50 years ago and has been passed around ever since..
1) Clean chicken, put into a dutch oven, cover with water up to 1/8th from the top of the pot. Add carrots, onion, and celery. High heat until water begins to boil, then lower flame to simmer. Cook uncovered for 2 or more hours, add wine and fresh washed dill (including the stalks, I tie the stems together, or wrap them in cheese cloth), continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- 1 kosher chicken 3-4 lbs cut into eighths, you can find at a kosher butcher, or some major supermarkets have kosher packaged chickens, they are always plumper and fresher, but a lot more expensive.. :(
- 3 med. carrots cut into thirds
- 1 whole medium onion, cut into quarters
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 stalks celery (optional, l don't always use it)
- 1/2 bunch fresh dill (do NOT use dried dill weed)
Take out dill and throw away. Enjoy!
My youngest son makes the matzo balls following the easy directions on the box of matzo meal and serve them in the soup.
I also cook fine noodles and serve it with the soup as well. Heaven on earth!!!
Ok, what does it taste like? And if you say, "chicken", I'll faint. :^)
I don't know.. LOL I've never used that stuff correctly so I am afraid to suggest it. It has a firmness and a texture that is compatable..

Homemade Mayonnaise As easy as 1, 2, 3.. Bingo. it's fabulous!
1) Blend first four ingredients in food processor or with electric mixer at med-high speed, until very thick.

- 2 Tbls. dry mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbls. sugar (substitute what you like for sweetener)
- 1/3 c olive oil
- 2 c salad oil (canola or corn)

2) Add 1/4 c oil a very small stream at a time blending in very well between additions.
3) Turn to High, and beat in remaining oils alternating with the vinegar. Beat in boiling water. Refrigerate.

BAVARIAN COFFEE CREAM A great dessert, simple and really different for a semi Low Carb with flavor!
1) Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water.
2) Cream sugar and egg yolks. Slowly pour the boiling milk over egg mixture. Pour in saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon over low heat until the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Do not allow to boil.
3) Dissolve the instant coffee in the boiling water. Stir in the gelatin and coffee in custard.
Strain into a bowl. Cool mixture.
4) Whip the heavy cream to a medium peak.
5) Fold in the cool custard. Pour in a decorative mold.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
To unmold: dip mold in hot water for a few seconds. Invert onto a serving platter. Serve cold.
Serves: 10
One of the really identifiable initial side effects for some folks on Atkins is chronic constipation. For others it is diarrhea, in the early days of Induction, as their bodies get rid of excess carbohydrates, and ketone production begins. ..so go figure...
For many, it can take a week or more for the "first" bowel movement, after switching to low carb. This is especially prevalent if you were previously on a diet that was full of highly processed and refined sugary starch carbs, the mere changing to eating more meats and low-starch vegetables will take a bit of adjustment. Once you do "go", things will return to a regular pattern.
However, constipation is also a symptom of low or sluggish thyroid. A few sure ways to tell if you have a low thyroid, is if you have a sensitivity to cold, hard to lose weight, combined with unusual hair loss. Although I have played a doctor on TV, you should ask a real one for the facts if you suspect this may be a cause.. LOL
One of the most notorious causes of sluggish bowels are pain-killers, especially codeine and other opiates, as well as antidepressants, iron pills and diuretics. Some calcium carbonate supplements can be constipating as well.
Are you eating a lot of homemade low carb desserts and treats, like cheesecakes, chocolates and artificially sweetened whipped cream things?? The artificial sweeteners that you buy to use at home contain maltodextrin, which helps give it bulk, and makes it look and and measure just like regular sugar. While the sweetener itself doesn't cause any problem, this dextrin (made from corn usually) can. So go easy, and do not create additional problems, including the overuse of laxatives. Laxatives are not an ideal solution, perhaps for occasional use only. Try a few of these suggestions first..
It is important to eat a variety of foods, including low carb high-fiber vegetables, leafy greens and salads, drink lots of water, and be sure to get regular exercise.
Are you consuming enough fats and oils? You do indeed need to ensure an adequate intake of fat ... olive and flax oil are good, add a Tbs. of either of these to the dressing you put on your salads. These will help prevent things from turning hard!
Add some variety to the vegetables you're eating. If the salads you eat are composed mainly of the pale iceberg lettuce, it's full of water, and not a lot else. Choose dark green lettuces, romaine, endive and raw spinach especially is amazing for it's ability to get things moving. Have a serving of lightly steamed, high fiber veg. such as broccoli, asparagus .... or spinach!
Cut out ALL salt for a couple days. So no ham, bacon, or bottled salad dressing, mayo, mustard, pickles or diet soda pop (soda = sodium). This will help get rid of fluid retention and bloat ... sometimes the abdominal bloat itself creates pressure which slows the bowel.
Try a cup of hot (but not boiling) water with the juice of half a lemon -- use fresh lemon juice, not the bottled type, which has sodium citrate in it. Drink this first thing in the morning, and again late afternoon, if no result. (The lemon juice does have a few carbs (2.5), but in this case, they're important)
Last but not at all least... if you eat a large piece of fresh Jalapeño, each and every day, you will hardly ever have a problem with constipation.. Strange but oh so true!!
Re: your bruising.. Yes indeed, Almonds work.. Your info is so important, I hope folks copy your message and pass it down to those that are expecting or nursing.... I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get a few pings.. What a dear you are! Thanks so much.
