Synopsis
Two grandmas. Two delicious recipes. And one granddaughter caught in the middle!
Sophie loves Bubbe's Jewish chicken soup, made with kreplach. She also loves Nai Nai's Chinese chicken soup, with wonton. But don't tell Bubbe and Nai Nai that their soups are the same! Can Sophie bring her whole family together for a warm and tasty surprise?
An inclusive look at a multicultural family, and a little girl's unique approach to combining her family's traditions. The book includes three chicken soup recipes at the end.
"[T]he good feelings (and good tastes) that it brings to mind are cooked just right for families like Sophie's―and everyone else―to enjoy."―Kirkus Reviews
"This family's story, lovingly depicted in the colorful illustrations, should resonate across cultures."―The Horn Book Guide
"This is a wonderful book both for multiethnic families and for developing sensitivity to multiethnic families as well as for anyone interested in cultural similarities in food. Watercolor and pencil illustrations are cheery and bright, with wonderful endpapers which enhance the book's artistic feel."―Jewish Book Council

CHAPTER 1
Two grandmas.
Two soup pots.
Two family traditions.
Two recipes for chicken soup?
How could a little piece of dough, stuffed with meat and floating in a bowl of chicken soup, cause a problem?
It started one rainy afternoon when I went to my bubbe's — my Grandma Ellie's — for lunch.
"Sophie, darling, here's a nice bowl of hot chicken soup for you."
I picked up my spoon and smiled when I saw the dumpling in my soup. "Yum! Wonton — my favorite!"
"Wonton? Who's a wonton?" Bubbe asked.
"Silly Bubbe — in the soup!"
"Sophie, my zissele, my sweet one, those are kreplach, not wontons. This is Jewish chicken soup, which I make for you just the way my bubbe made it for me. Now eat — it's delicious."
For the rest of the afternoon we played dress-up and had a wonderful time.
But when Mommy came to pick me up I heard Bubbe muttering about a granddaughter who didn't know the difference between kreplach and wontons.
