This Matzo ball soup is a Jewish classic dish. So good if you make the matzo balls, which are a dumpling, light and fluffy.
Start out with making my Chicken Soup recipe.
Serve with the chicken shredded, some of the veggies and fine egg noodles if you like, poured over the cooked matzo balls.
Ingredients;
Matzo Ball mixture;
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup Matzo meal
1/4 cup chicken fat called “schmaltz” or vegetable oil
3 TBLS club soda
11/4 TSP kosher salt
Directions;
Mix eggs, matzo meal, schmaltz or vegetable oil, club soda, and salt in a medium bowl (mixture will resemble wet sand; it will firm up as it rests). Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Scoop out 2-tablespoonful portions of the matzo ball mixture and, using wet hands, gently roll into balls.
Add matzo balls to water and reduce heat so water is at a gentle simmer (too much bouncing around will break them up). COVER the pot and cook matzo balls until cooked through and starting to sink, 20–25 minutes. Covering the pot makes them more tender.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer matzo balls to bowls. Ladle chicken soup over the Matzo balls, top with dill, and season with pepper
** variation** you can add cooked thin egg noodles to the soup stock if you like too.
**use vegetable oil to make this health friendly.
