Jewish Alphabet Soup

Jewish Alphabet Soup, often called "Kugel" or "Jewish noodle soup," is a traditional comfort food featuring fine egg noodles in a clear chicken or beef broth, typically garnished with matzah balls, vegetables, or chicken. It is deeply rooted in Jewish culinary culture, especially for holidays like Passover and Rosh Hashanah. The dish symbolizes warmth and community, combining simple ingredients with meaningful tradition. Its name playfully references “soup” with “alphabet,” but it is mainly recognized as a hearty, nourishing meal rather than an actual collection of alphabet letters.
