Yehudis Wallace, of Louisville, Kentucky's Hasidic community, serves this delicious, thick soup before the Yom Kippur fast. It is filling, yet easily digestible, and it is flavorful, yet low in sodium. Yehudis serves the soup with noodles for the pre-fast meal, which really satiates her husband and four sons before the big day!
