  6. Recipe • Matzah Ball Soup  • Also known as Jewish penicillin. Matzah balls are more traditionally known as knaydelach (Yiddish for dumplings). Matzah ball soup is generally a very thin chicken broth with two or three ping-pong-ball sized matzah balls (or sometimes one very large matzah ball) in it. Sometimes, a few large pieces of carrot or celery are added. Matzah balls can be very soft and light or firm and heavy. A friend of mine describes the two types as "floaters and sinkers." Matzah ball soup is commonly served at the Passover seder, but is also eaten all year round. • Below is my recipe for matzah ball soup. The parsley in the matzah balls is not traditional, but I like it that way. • 1/2 cup matzah meal • 2 eggs • 2 tbsp. oil or schmaltz (melted chicken fat) • 2 tbsp. water or chicken broth • 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley • a little black pepper

  7. Cont. • 2 quarts thin chicken broth or consommé • A handful of baby carrots or regular carrots cut into large chunks (optional) • a few stalks of celery cut into large chunks (optional) • Beat the eggs, oil and water together thoroughly. Add the matzah meal, parsley and black pepper and mix until you achieve an even consistency. Let this sit for a few minutes, so the matzah meal absorbs the other ingredients, and stir again. • Bring the broth to a vigorous boil, then reduce the heat until the broth is just barely boiling. Add the vegetables to the broth (if used). Wet your hands and make balls of about 1-2 tbsp. of the batter. Drop the balls gently into the boiling water. They will be cooked enough to eat in about 15 minutes; however, you may want to leave it simmering longer to absorb more of the chicken broth flavor. They are done when they float on top of the broth and look bloated. • For lighter matzah balls, use a little less oil, a little more water, and cook at a lower temperature for a longer time. For heavier matzah balls, do the reverse. If you are using this to treat a cold, put extra black pepper into the broth (pepper clears the sinuses).
