This traditional chicken and matzoh ball soup is the original health food.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 8 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 parsnip, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 bunch fresh dill weed, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 1/2 cups matzo meal
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Place the chicken into a large pot with the breast side down. Fill with enough cold water to reach about 3 inches from the top of the pot. Add the onion, carrot, parsnip, celery and dill. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook, partially covered for 2 hours. Do not let the soup boil. Skim any fat from the top of the soup, and add the garlic cloves. Partially cover, and simmer for another 2 hours for best flavor.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the matzo meal, eggs, oil, salt, and 1/4 cup of the broth from the chicken soup. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to set up.
- Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Roll the matzo mixture into about 16 balls. Wet your hands to keep the dough from sticking to them. Drop the balls into boiling water, cover, and cook for about 35 minutes.
- While the matzo balls are cooking, strain the broth from the chicken soup. Return the broth to the pot. Remove the bones and skin from the chicken and cut into pieces. Return to the soup, or leave the soup as a broth, and reserve the chicken for other uses. Remove the matzo balls from the water, and serve in the hot chicken soup.
