Matzo Ball Soup
New Food Tuesdayz has
made me realize a lot of things about myself.
It made me discover a
passion I had no idea existed.
Because of NFT’z I
discovered I could accomplish ANYTHING I put my mind to.
But the biggest
discover was the fact that I am was missing out on A LOT of amazing foods.
or matzo ball soup.
Um, why didn’t anyone
tell me what I was missing!
This soup is
delicious. And light and hearty all at the same time.
Thank goodness for Jew
Food Tuesday for helping me discover it.
And thank you to
Lindsay Y’s mom for hooking us up with a bomb recipe.
You will need…
For the Soup:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, chopped
4 celery stalks,
chopped
4 cloves garlic,
minced
1 quart chicken broth
1 spring thyme
salt and pepper to
taste
For the Balls:
3 eggs, separated
¾ cup Matzo Meal
½ teaspoon salt
Start by heating the butter
and oil over medium high heat in a large soup pot.
When the butter has
melted, add the onions, celery and carrots and cook until the onions become
translucent. About 7 minutes.
When the onions are
translucent, add in the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic becomes
fragrent. About 1 minutes.
Season the vegetables
with salt and pepper.
Add in the chicken broth
and bring to a boil.
While the broth is
heating to bail, beat the egg whites until stiff.
Add in the yolks and
continue beating until completely combined.

and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
After the mixture has
sat for a while, form the mixture into small balls.
Drop the balls into
the now boiling water.
