This delicious traditional matzo ball soup recipe is perfect for those cool fall and winter days or if you’re under the weather! When it’s cold out or I’m a bit under the weather I’m not sure this a more comforting therapeutic thing to eat then my Matzo Ball Soup Recipe. It’s so delicious that I usually put a way 3 to 4 bowls a day until it’s gone. Yes, I have a problem, I know. Ingredients for this recipe: For the Soup: • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts • 2 tablespoons of olive oil • 92 ounces of good chicken stock • 3 peeled and small diced carrots • 3 small diced ribs of celery • ¼ cup of chopped fresh dill • ¼ cup of sliced green onions • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste For the Matzo Balls: • ½ peeled and finely minced yellow onion • 3 finely minced cloves of garlic • 2 teaspoons of baking powder • 8 eggs • 4 tablespoons of melted schmaltz • 2 cups of matzo meal • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste 1. For the chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden browned and cooked throughout. 3. Add in the chicken stock, cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for 1 hour or until the chicken easily shreds apart. 4. Using two forks pull the chicken apart until shredded. 5. Add the carrots, celery, salt and pepper and simmer over low heat. Keep warm. 6. For the Matzo Balls: In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients until they are well mixed together and set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. 7. Remove the matzo ball mixture and roll into small gold ball sized balls and place them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Note: If the matzo balls become sticky while making them, dip your hands in water before rolling. 8. Place a few matzo balls into the soup and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are cooked through out and firm. Move the balls around and flip them over every 3-4 minutes. 9. Place the cooked matzo balls in a soup bowl along with the chicken broth, chopped chicken and vegetables, and garnish with chopped dill and sliced green onions. CHEF NOTES: • If you are reading this and wondering what on earth schmaltz is, it’s rendered chicken fat. Honestly this can be tough to find but I’ve had success at my local grocery store in the frozen food aisle • If the matzo balls become sticky while making them, dip your hands in water before rolling. • REHEATING YOUR MATZO BALL SOUP RECIPE: To reheat the matzo ball soup simply add your desired portion to a small sauce pot and heat over low heat until hot. You can also simply add your desired portion to microwave safe bowl and heat for 2:30 stirring after 1:15. • STORING AND FREEZING MATZO BALL SOUP: The matzo ball soup recipe will hold well in the refrigerator covered up for up to 4 days. It will also freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Simply pull it out as you need it and reheat following the directions above. .

Sweet Potatoes.
What size/type pot is that you’re using? I usually make my matzo ball soup in an aluminum stock pot, but thinking of upgrading.
Sea salt? Should be using kosher salt 😎
Just found this recipe and it looks so good I just made some matzo soup I haven't been feeling well and like you said it's penicillin to the soul…
Definitely will be making it the way you made it look so good
This is the third time I’ve made your recipe and each time I’m just more and more amazed at how outstanding it is. Would you consider shooting another version of this recipe…but this time cooking a whole chicken in a crockpot vs breasts? (I’ve been doing that and I’m curious your take on it.)By the way, more Jewish food!!!!I’m going to go online and see if you’ve written a cookbook yet. If you have, then I’m buying it!
Will definitely try this. Thanks for the great recipe but so disappointed with the shape of those Matzo balls when you dumped them in the pot with two spoons. Aesthetically minus factor. Why did you do that after making perfect shaped balls???
Great soup 🍲 I always buy it at the restaurant but today I'm cooking ut..great video. Thsnk you
i use this recipe every year and it is amazing! everyone including me loves it and craves it every day!
The best!!
First time making it on my own in a town with almost no Jewish roots so I have to order everything from Amazon…. thanks, this made me feel more confident and my son is so excited he is dancing. Lol
Since you said all the matzo balls would not fit in the pan, how did you cook the second batch? Thanks.
Wow Looks Amazing 😍Thank you for sharing 👍 Sub’d, & will try this!
Thank you (from The Bahamas 🇧🇸) for sharing your delicious recipe!
Sounds like a delicious recipe. I plan to try this when temperature gets cooler in Texas. By the way, what does "comeys" mean when you referred to them? I can't find it on internet searches, not even in urban dictionary. Please let me know. I'm watching other videos you have and they all sound so good. I subscribed to you channel so I can learn various Jewish and other recipes you have. Hope you're having a great Labor Day. It's 9 7 2020 today. Cooking for my family who's coming for dinner. Happy Labor Day!!! Linda from Texas
Love it, thanks!! I've had Cilantro added to mine
Its a little extra but looks good. When your sick, make it a little bit more basic, yes bland, because the more ingredients, the more it might upset the stomach…like chicken noodle soup.
ah ah ah shalom from baku
FROM WHERE I GET THE MATZO powders
Hi Billy, like this recipe and would like to make this soup. The soup is no problem, but unfortunately in this part of the country we don't get matzo meal.
Can I substitute matzo meal with breadcrumbs.
Gladly awaiting your reply so that I may start this
0:19 I’m allergic to penicillin.
Anyway, the closest to cooking is making some ramen from Walmart, some pancakes and a few omelettes. I’m looking forward to making this when I won’t have to ask my mom to borrow the oven.
Love this recipe 👏🏼 just great only that I made too big of a balls but delicious 😋 thx
I use chicken bullion instead of salt
Making this today in honor of my mother in law that passes way. Already smells fantastic thank you for sharing this recipe! Hope anyone that makes it ; enjoys it (:
I am drooling. Can't wait to try this soup. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
My first Passover without my mom at my house.. I’ll be making all the traditional recipes for the first time..😳 so nervous! Would that rendered fat replace the spritz water or should I use both?? Thanks
Pasó ver with allison
By far the most simple and less step way that still produce a better looking soup. Got to try that.
For the love of god keep your metal silverware away from all nonstick pots and ceramic pots, boys and girls. I don’t know what it is with online / tv chefs doing this so much. They just have tons of money to blow on new cookware maybe.
Aa
Can I prep this matzo mix before rolling It into balls and place it in the fridge and leave it in there over night and roll it the next day?
This looks amazing! I am definitely going to make it. Question, if you don't have matzoh meal can you make it from a box of Matzoh ground up in a cuisinart?
Yum!!!!
Thank you! L❤️VE your cooking. You ROCK!!
So good! Made a double batch today. I freeze 1/2 of the matzo balls on a cookie sheet (after I roll them). Place them in freezer bag once frozen. Always nice to have a set already made for a rainy day 😉 I add finely chopped parsley and dill.
I loved your recipe it was so easy to follow. Best recipe for this time. Thanks
Never heard of this. Seems interesting. But I’ll def try it.
If you dont have stock how can I make it?
I'm making Matzah Ball soup tomorrow night actually! Next time, I will try your recipe!!!!! Thank you, Chef for sharing your recipe! Shalom God Bless
Can't wait to try this. Back in the 70's I often went to a place called Mary's Lunch in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I loved their Matzoh Ball Soup. I never knew it was a Jewish dish.
Im sick in bed with the flue craving this soup, cant wait to make it!
Billy just made your matzo ball soup WOW! YOUR THE BOMB! THANK YOU! LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FOLLOWED YOUR RECIPE TO THE T!!!!!
