Knishes and Mushroom Soup

[Rebbetzin]

On Wednesday evenings I try to make a light, but nice meal before we leave for services. Last night I made some really nice knishes (If I do say so myself!) and with it some Homemade Mushroom soup.

I thought the plate looked pretty...

And we had enough left over, so tonight when my husband came home starving from Karate Class, I just heated it up for him!!

That's beautiful ! Lucky husband....!

Now I am hungry. A teaspoon of peanut butter will have to do.

That looks great. Please post the recipe. I used to eat potato knishes for lunch, when I lived in the Bronx, in New York. I would love to try and make some and maybe SO will like them too.

The soup recipe comes from an out of print HPBook Cookbook, Soups & Stews.

Here is the page for Creamed Soups, maybe you can save off the page and enlarge it a bit to see the recipes better.

I use half and half, or cream when making cream soups.

The Knishes, are very easy, since I cheat and use a Cresent Roll dough from the grocery store. The refrigerator type bisquits of any kind work, if you don't feel like making dough. Any yeast or bisquit dough will work.

I use left over meats and potatos for the fillings.

I cut up onion and garlic saute it then add it to the meat and potato mixture. You can also make them vegetarian, or add cheese to the potato mixture.

Roll out the dough, so it is thinner, but not so thin it breaks when you try to cover the filling. They now make a small round cresent dough shape, that one works great.

They can be filled with about anything. It seems every culture has a type of filled bun of sorts.

I don't have recipe per se... But my favorite dough to use is Pilsbury Cresent dough.
I just like the way it tastes, and it is easy to work with.

On the Mushroom soup, I use Crimini (little brown mushrooms) they have a good flavor. Any mushroom will work.

And I add a tiny bit of freshly grated nutmeg, not a lot, just a couple of little scrapes.

I cook them, then put them in my Vitamix. It makes for a very creamy soup you can drink from a cup.
