Easy Matzo Ball Soup Recipe Anyone Can Make 2

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the matzo balls. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs well until they are light and fluffy.

2. Add the matzo meal to the eggs and mix until well combined.

3. Next, stir in the vegetable oil, chicken stock, salt, and black pepper.

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up. This step will help your matzo balls hold their shape when cooking.

5. While the matzo ball mixture is chilling, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large soup pot.

6. Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

7. Using wet hands, shape the matzo ball mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and carefully drop them into the simmering broth.

8. Cover the pot with a lid and let the matzo balls cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.

9. In the meantime, add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot with the matzo balls and let them simmer until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

10. Once the vegetables are cooked and the matzo balls are ready, ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to include a generous amount of matzo balls, carrots, and celery in each serving.

11. Garnish each bowl of matzo ball soup with fresh dill for an extra pop of flavor and color.

12. Serve the soup hot and enjoy the comforting and delicious flavors of this traditional dish.
