Matza ball soup
Matza ball soup
Matza ball soup is a traditional Jewish dish made from a clear chicken broth with matza balls, which are dumplings made from matza meal (finely ground unleavened bread). The matza balls are usually light and fluffy, and the soup is often served with vegetables like carrots and celery. It's a comforting and delicious dish, perfect for a cozy meal, especially during Jewish holidays like Passover.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup matza meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 stalks celery sliced
- Fresh dill for garnish, (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and matza meal. Mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add carrots and celery. Reduce heat to low and let simmer.
- After the matza ball mixture has chilled, wet your hands and form mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Carefully drop the matza balls into the simmering broth. Cover and let cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until the matza balls are cooked through.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh dill if desired.
- Enjoy!
