I love chicken soup, especially during the winter, but I no longer order it when I’m dining out. Each time I do, it’s often as salty as the Dead Sea.
So after a bit of trial and error, I discovered a way of preparing chicken soup at home that’s so rich in flavor, it hardly needs the salt!
As part of our YouTube series Est Gezunterheyt! (Eat in Good Health), Yiddish food scholar and chef Eve Jochnowitz and I demonstrate how to prepare chicken soup this way, accompanied with tasty gluten-free kneydlekh (matzah balls) that will have your guests asking for seconds!

You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
