Instructions: MAKES 12 SERVINGS. LACTO/VEGAN (HONEY)

Place beets, cabbage and stock or water into large soup pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat; add raisins, honey or sugar, lemon juice or vinegar. Simmer until beets and cabbage are soft, about 20 minutes.

In medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine on low heat. Add matzo meal, stirring until butter is absorbed. Ladle 1 cup liquid from soup pot into butter matzo mixture. Stir well to avoid lumps. Add 2 more cups of liquid from soup pot, stirring between additions. Mixture should have consistency of thick gravy. Add mixture back to soup pot; stir well. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Serve with dollop of yogurt or sour cream if desired.

Makes 12 servings.

NOTE: Matzo meal is available in 12-ounce boxes at grocery stores, or you can process matzo crackers in the food processor until finely ground.
