Light, fluffy matzo balls, afloat in a rich chicken stock, give this classic soup a spicy kick. Tanya Holland, chef-owner of Brown Sugar Kitchen and B-Side Baking Co. in Oakland, served it as a first course for a Passover Seder.
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chicken fat (skim from Roasted Chicken Stock, if you like; recipe on sunset.com) or vegetable oil
1 cup matzo meal
1/2 cup club soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Creole Spice or Creole seasoning, such as Tony Chachere's
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Mix matzo-ball ingredients and chill, covered, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 °. Cut top off garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with some oil. Wrap in foil; roast 1 hour.
In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add vegetables and 1/2 tsp. salt, cover, and cook until starting to soften, 10 minutes. Squeeze garlic from cloves into a bowl, whisk in 1/2 cup stock, and pour into vegetables with remaining stock.
About 30 minutes before serving, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Using wet hands, loosely form matzo mixture into scant 1-in. balls; add to stock as you go. Simmer until cooked through, 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley.
Make ahead: Garlic, up to 1 week, chilled. Soup through step 3, up to 2 days, chilled.
