There are many occasions in Jewish cooking when a pareve or neutral soup is
wanted for dairy occasions or for very hot days. This is a simple soup,
full of flavor, is ideal for summer dining or vegetarians any times.

1. Heat oil in a soup pan, add onions & 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, &
stir-fry over moderate heat for 2 mins. (My Afghan cook believes salt will
hasten frying as onions change color.) Add the water, potato, celery,
remaining salt, pepper, & cinnamon & bring to a boil. 2. Simmer soup,
covered, for 30 mins. When ready to serve, dribble beaten egg into pan of
soup in a circular motion. Sprinkle w/parsley. Serve hot. Serves 4 to 6.
