A Note from Feedfeed

Horseradish is often chosen as the bitter herb on the Seder plate, and also acts as a sensory boost for otherwise plain tasting gefilte fish and matzo. It’s used to highlight earthy beets and fennel in this creamy soup which is a perfect way to use up that leftover horseradish and eat a little lighter after indulging in all that brisket!
