    Notes: The original recipe calls for rice, but the truth of it is that I remember this being served clear as often as not. If served as a broth, sprinkle with a little white pepper and dill for flavor. As a broth, it's good for cold raw days and cold, raw throats. The original portions always struck me as ambitious in the extreme. Halving it gives you three or four truly hearty bowls.
