Delicious Real Matzoh Ball Soup

I have made chicken soup but never matzoh ball soup (I’ve ordered it in restaurants and my daughter has made it a few times).

I looked at recipes on Smitten Kitchen and Serious Eats. Now I’ve decided to make Cecilia Chang’s wonderful chicken broth when my sprained knee gets better. In the meantime I have bought Streit’s matzoh meal, looked for seltzer, bought Perrier … hope that’s correct.

What’s your all time favorite recipe for this?

I always order mine, while out. :slightly_smiling_face: I like the versions that include more herbs in the broth.

I did have my eye on this recipe

Back of the box, add schmaltz if you have it (skim off the top of the soup since you’re making it).

Using some chicken broth instead of water also helps flavor. I don’t use seltzer.

Let the mixture rest long enough to fully hydrate.

Tori Avery has recipes for both floaters and sinkers, take your pick (I prefer floaters).
