Matzo Ball Soup
« on: August 15, 2006, 07:22:26 AM »
I have been missing this for awhile now & I was wondering if anyone had an easy recipe for this...I have the chicken stock & can get matzo in the shops...just at a loss as to how to fuse the two together!

You need matzo meal to make the matzo balls and there is usually a recipe on the side of the box. I think it is something like a cup of matzo meal to a stick of butter and some of the fat skimmed off the soup...something nice and healthy like that!  ;)
I make a really simple chicken soup using just a whole chicken cut in eighth's, stock, bay leaf, onion, celery, carrots and parsnip, water and salt and pepper all set to simmer for about an hour. I pull out the chicken and remove it from the bone and pop it back in the soup.
I make my matzo balls in a separate pot because they need to boil and I don't like to boil my soup.
Mmmm...I think I will make some this week too!

I use matzo meal in my meatloaf so I always have it in the house. You can get it at Tesco but it's not Kosher.  Ill have to look and see if there is a recipe on the box. My grandmother would just use matzo meal, egg and oil and also boil seperately from the chicken soup. Geez Im hungry now!
Pamela I may try your recipe!

A little tip: matzo balls freeze really well.  Make some extra so you can have a few around to brighten a gloomy day.  Just plop a couple in a pot of warming/cooking soup.

Nothing is cozier than matzo ball soup!

There's also a place you can order the boxes of soup and matzo ball mix from. I'll have to do a search but I posted about it on here ages ago. They do other Jewish food, too.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

I couldn't get that page to load either. So, I was wondering if I put the matzo in my Magimix & blitzed it - would that essentially be matzo meal?  (I'm soooo hungry for it, it's unreal!)
