Matzo Ball Soup - Once Upon a Chef

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup matzo meal
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • Fresh dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the vegetable oil, water (or chicken broth), salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  2. Gradually fold in the matzo meal, ensuring the mixture is well combined. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the matzo balls hold their shape.
  3. While the matzo mixture is chilling, heat the chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and let them cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once the matzo mixture is ready, remove it from the refrigerator. Wet your hands with a little water and shape the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball.
  5. Carefully drop the matzo balls into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and let them cook for about 20 minutes; they will expand as they cook.
  6. Once done, serve the soup piping hot. Garnish with fresh dill if desired, and enjoy every spoonful of this cozy dish!
