Matzo Ball Soup
Start with the broth.
In a cheesecloth, add whatever herbs and seasonings you like. I’ve used ground nutmeg, herbs de Provence, cracked black pepper, and peeled ginger.
In a large stock pot, combine about a pound of carrots, one bunch of celery, and several onions. Halve the onions, cut the carrots in half, break apart the celery and cut the stalks in half.
To the vegetables, add chicken. I used leg quarters, because I like a lot of good yellow schmaltz, but a whole chicken or split breasts also work. The key is to get bone-in and skin-on.
Fill the pot with enough water to just cover the ingredients. Add salt. More salt. You’re seasoning everything that comes after this.
Tie off the herbs in the cheesecloth, toss the sachet in the pot, and put a lid on.
Over medium high heat, bring the water to a boil, then turn down to low and simmer forever. When you can’t stand it anymore, get a mug to taste test. Adjust your salt. Once you’re satisfied, strain out your chicken and veggies. Discard the veggies, bones, and skin. Shred the chicken and add it back to the pot. Cut and peel carrots into bite size pieces, drop them in the pot to soften up over low heat.
Matzo balls are dead simple.
Combine eggs and vegetable oil. Add matzo meal. Stir until well combined. Add some of your broth and stir until smooth again. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the matzo meal time to absorb the moisture. Once the mix is chilled, get a pot of water boiling. Form the mix into balls, about ping pong ball sized. Add your balls to the boiling water, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 20 minutes. Move the balls to the pot with the broth. Give them at least another 20 minutes to really soak in the flavors.
Now you should have a good size batch of matzo ball soup. It keeps decently in the fridge, but it tastes best shared.

if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion! she NEVER got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day. huge franchises that have profited off her work for over 40 years.
she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died. in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of these iconic characters. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!
