There is no alternative to a warm soup, especially if you are living in a cold climate. While there are hundreds of different types of soups made in almost all countries, one amazingly delicious version is the Matzo ball soup.
Ingredients
- Chicken broth - 3 quarts
- Matzo crackers - 20 oz.
- Matzo meal - 5 oz.
- Butter - 4 oz.
- Eggs - 6
- Onions - 2
- Fresh parsley - 3 tbsp.
- Salt - As per taste
- Pepper - As per taste
Instructions
- Grab a large pot, fill it with water and boil it.
- Add a small quantity of salt in the boiling water.
- You need to place the matzo crackers in a large bowl after you have crumbled them.
- To cover them, add just enough water and allow them to soak until they are soft.
- This process should take only a few minutes before you drain the water.
- Put a skillet over medium heat and place butter in it.
- Once it has melted, you need to stir in the matzos. Until the mixture is dry and brown, you should continue stirring.
- You can now remove it from heat before adding chopped onions, eggs and parsley.
- Salt and pepper need to be added as per taste.
- In order to get the mixture to hold together, you should add just enough matzo meal.
- You are now required to make a matzo ball of the size of a ping pong or a golf ball before you place it in the boiling water.
- The ball, without falling apart, should rise to the surface.
- If it falls apart, you need to add more matzo meal and if it does not rise, you can add another egg.
- You may roll all of the mixture into matzo balls once you are assure of the consistency.
- In a large saucepan, you can put the chicken broth over medium heat.
- Once it gets boiled, you can add the matzo balls.
- Your matzo ball soup is ready to be served once the matzo balls have risen.
