Directions: |
Directions:Put chicken in stockpot. Add about 8 c of water. Add all other ingredients, except Matzo balls. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Cook until chicken is done. Remove chicken. Cut into slivers and return to soup. Add matzo balls and heat up.
Notes:
1. Joan uses chicken on the bone with some of the skin for the flavor.
2. This soup is a roll your own kind of thing. Put in it what you like, leave out what you don't like. But something like celery, parsley or dill add a lot of flavor to the broth. So if you don't like them just leave them big enough to remove.
3. For extra flavor, Joan also uses Goodman's soup mix for Matzo ball soup, but only uses the seasoning part of this box.
4. Some people drain all vegetables out and just have the matzo balls and the broth. Freeze chicken for other uses. |
