My dad and I were talking a few months back and he got to reminiscing about the experience he had at friends' grandfather's funeral in Israel. They are Sefardic Jews, mostly of Yemenite descent and their traditions, rituals, and foods were unique. Read more My father told me about a delicious chicken soup they served that was different from any he'd ever had before. I was determined to recreate the soup for him and did my best. I referenced a website called Tender is the Steak, but I came across a couple with the same basic ingredients. My dad was pleased, as were my brother and sister-in-law. See less
