Chicken Soup with Matzah Balls Chicken Soup Stock Start with a 4-5 pound chicken or use the back and the insides of the chickens you might be serving. 3 quarts of water Clean the chicken thoroughly; clean and cut up the vegetables. Add all of the ingredients to the water and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat. Simmer for 2 hours. Pour the soup through a colander, and refrigerate broth for 2-3 hours, until the fat forms a layer at the top. Save the carrots aside. Remove the layer of fat and return the broth and carrots to the pot to reheat. This will boil down to about 2- 2 1/2 quarts of soup. If you want to stretch it a little, add more water and a few chicken bouillon cubes (when n one is looking). Matzah Balls (a.k.a. Knaidlekh) 1 Cup Matzah meal Traditionally, Matzah balls are made with "schmaltz", rendered chicken fat. Beat the eggs, Add water, oil, salt, and pepper to the eggs; mix well.

You may set these aside and later add them to the soup, before serving. Makes about 30 -1" balls. Link: |
