I just tried matzo ball soup for the first time last night. We had a mix of the meal in our pantry, and i thought why not lets try it... It was amazing! my son loved making the balls, and i always have homemade stock in the freezer. I am so glad this recipe is posted so i can try them from scratch. a huge hit I reccommend trying this recipe with your children!

Your blog is terrific. The whole issue of stock, broth, soup, hey even consomme, all seem to me like they are part of a continuum, which only the excruciatingly correct quibble about. They are all good enough to call a ready to eat soup, no?

Anyway, my mother's chicken soup was truly a cure-all and this is how it differs from yours:

The meat: 1 soup chicken [as old a bird as U can find], ie. a large one
~1 lb of beef or veal bones or some short ribs or small piece of flanken
other stuff [optional] - chicken bones, necks, wings
~ 1/2 bunch each - fresh dill, fresh parsley, AND carrot greens
some edible marigold petals or [when no flowers available] turmeric
1 onion, several carrots and celery ribs [with all their leaves]
1 parsnip, 2 zucchini, optional - 1 kohlrabi or turnip or rutabaga in chunks
several cloves garlic, a 1 inch piece of ginger, a few peppercorns and allspice peppers, 2 bay leaves
3 gallons water
First simmer the meats in the water. Fish out the useable pieces before they are fully cooked. Put in all the other ingredients and keep simmering till the veggies are tender. Add salt at end of cooking. Serve with kreplach, kneidlach [matzo balls], noodles. The meat and chicken can be served covered with a sauce and baked to heat through.

I added 3 minced garlic cloves and appx 1/2 to 1 teasp horseradish, not sure of the exact amount as I kept adding a bit at a time. Thanks for the suggestions, they were great additions that really added flavor to the soup. Also tried 1/2 teasp tumeric which I thought was too much... 1/4 teasp is more like it. 1/2 t made it much too yellow, and this was a double size batch of soup.

Try adding a bit of nutmeg and parsley and steam the uncooked balls in tightly covered pan simmering in soup.

I do similar balls with coarse semolina mixed with eggs (1-2 eggs and enough semolina to make a soft dough+a little salt and pepper). Stop adding semolina when the fork leaves stable marks in the dough. The only trick is not to use too much semolina...
I use a small ice cream spoon to drop the balls in the simmering soup (I remove most of the vegetables, but they could be added back in the end.I bake them in this soup for 10 min, with a lid slightly covering the pot. The balls pop up, double in size...they are good in chicken soup

I'm thinking if I can use ordinary flour?
