  • Cutting Boards - Used to safely chop and prepare vegetables, such as beets and horseradish root.

  • Kitchen Knives - A set of sharp knives is necessary for efficient chopping and slicing.

  • Soup Pot (Dutch oven) - Ideal for slow-cooking the beet soup until it reaches a rich, creamy consistency.

  • Blender or Food Processor - For pureeing soups and preparing horseradish cream to achieve smooth textures.

  • Colander - Used to drain excess water from cooked vegetables before adding them to the soup.

Instruction 4

: If you plan on serving this soup at two seders and want some variety on the second night, try this twist that combines Eastern European knaidlach (matzoh balls) and Middle Eastern kibbeh (meatballs): Prepare matzoh ball dough (you can use a packaged mix) and chill at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together ground beef or lamb, chopped onion, chopped celery, chopped fresh mint, a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Form the meat into mini-meatballs. Wrap matzoh ball dough around each meatball to form "knaidlach kibbeh." Boil the balls according to the package directions (the meat will cook inside them). Place two balls in each bowl of hot soup.
