Andrew Zimmern Cooks: Matzoh Ball Soup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 бер 2018
- A Passover staple, matzoh ball soup is Jewish penicillin. Before I had a bottle in my mouth I was sipping on this soup, and it's remained one of my top five favorite foods. This is the only recipe I’ve come across that measures up to my grandmother’s. This matzoh ball is a floater. To make good floaters, you have to get air into the balls, which is best achieved with beaten egg whites.

I'm African American and I have to say matzo ball soup is my favorite of all time. NJ diners have some of the best. :)
Yes they do. But homemade is always best. :)
I fell in love with this soup as a little kid,at a classmates house. Delicious
I’m Mexican American and I’ve always wanted to try Matzoh Ball Soup. This recipe looks amazing. Thank you Andrew for sharing your recipes. I am a fan since I saw your show Bizarre Foods. ❤
You definitely should! They even sell the mix at most grocery stores. DELISH 😋🤤
I'm not Jewish either but these are my favorite dumplings. There is something so comforting about chicken soup with matzo balls, one of my favorite soups ever, right up there with French onion soup.
"This soup will get one up from the deathbed," my grandma always says. I agree, no better food on this planet!
I am not Jewish, but decided to try this recipe...and I am hooked! Wonderful recipe Andrew. Thank you!
I remember growing up watching bizarre food and being interested in different kinds of food and experiencing culinary arts of different places thank you andrew
Wonderful recipe! I like how you beat the egg whites and also add minced onions right to the mixture. I’ll be trying this for Shabbos this week.
I’m feeling really drained and tired already this week. This is just what I need - 💜
It’s the most comforting soup I’ve ever had. ❤
I love Maztoh ball soup. I like to have a strong amount of carrot 🥕 and yellow or orange squash. I add a pinch of nutmeg, pinch of white pepper for heat. To a large pot ( serving 10) I add a pinch of cinnamon, 5 coriander seeds and 1/8 tsp celery seed for brightness and 1/4 tsp caraway seeds for magic. I finish off with a good amount of chopped dill and a 1 tsp cracked black pepper. I add quite a bit of garlic to the ball and some to the soup base.
This just changed my MB game. I'd only ever been taught sinkers, but I've always love floaters. Now I know! Thanks, andrew!
Yes, this is one kick ass soup 🍲
This is hands down the BEST RECIPE FOR MATZA!!!
Today, I only had extra large eggs, didn’t think about it until it was mixed and sitting in the fridge. I thought, well if anything they might be a little stiff. Nope, they disintegrated in my soup almost immediately. 😩😩😩
I scooped it out trying to save my broth for another batch with large eggs.
Matzoh Ball Soup
Servings: 8 to 10
Ingredients
Matzoh Balls
5 large eggs, 3 separated
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Pepper
1/4 cup melted chicken fat (schmaltz)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 1/4 cups matzoh meal
Soup
2 quarts chicken stock
One 3-pound chicken
1 small onion, diced
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1/3 pound rutabaga, peeled and diced
4 large parsley sprigs, plus more for garnish
4 large dill sprigs, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for forming the matzoh balls
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, 3 egg yolks, 2 whole eggs and pepper. Whisk to incorporate. Add the schmaltz, minced onion, beaten egg whites and matzoh meal. Fold together until fully combined. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
In a large pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Add the whole chicken and return the stock to a simmer. Cover and cook for about an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and let cool slightly, then shred the meat; discard the skin and bones. Reserve half of the chicken meat for another use.
Strain the soup into another pot set over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, rutabaga, chicken meat, parsley and dill sprigs. Remove the matzoh ball batter from the fridge. Using the vegetable oil to keep your hands moist and prevent the batter from sticking, roll golf ball sized matzoh balls and gently place in the soup. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes.
Serve and garnish
I’m not Jewish and kinda new to the matzo ball soup game, but I’ve fallen in love with it. I know it’s not traditional, but I make a pouch with bay leaves, black pepper corns, rosemary and star anise and let that soak in the broth a bit and it comes out phenomenal. Also, I sear and caramelize the mirepoix first to really extract the flavor from it. It’s definitely got a deeper, almost eastern Asian flavor because of the anise, but I think it does it well. Also, a spritz of lemon juice along with the dill and parsley garnish. It still warms the soul.
I frick'in LOVE Matzoh Ball soup. My family is Jewish, and we make Killer Matzoh Ball soup
מתכון נפלא , תודה
Perfect all year long with gorgeous light floaters!
Greetings from Australia! Learned a lot from your word perfect presentation. Thank you.
I love chicken soup with dumplings. I cannot wait to ake this.
Funnily enough this soup is something I just associate with comfort, I also used to find bizarre foods very comforting as well ! Thanks Andrew.
I made this for New Year's Eve a couple of days ago. It was a hit!
Great approach! Thank you!! Please make more videos
Looked delicious, Thank you for the recipe.
Making some Texas style Matzoh ball soup tonight.
Made stock with fried turkey from Christmas dinner.
Matzoh mix in fridge now, used some turkey fat instead of chicken schmaltz .
I'll add some carrotts and onions, lil parsley too.
My wife loves this soup!
I love your show keep on cooking you doing good 💐❤️
How much sodium can you pump into a soup B4 it kills a village ???? Don't you have a Grandma/Bubbe to show you how it's done ??? Re-think what you do 2 us.
Old style rules, yeah, chicken fat, too, is safer than all thatPUMPPUMPPUMPpu...
love your shows
this looks heavenly
It look delicious definitely will make it.
The best soup and matzo balls thank you, I was looking for a recipe of matzo balls soft like this ones
Wow that soup 👌 thanks for that recipe.
Great job. It was amazing.
Omg. This is incredible. Just ate it for dinner.
I love this. I make this for myself. I am not Jewish but my favorite food.
Average American moment. Bet you also mutilated your children.
I usually just use seltzer for floaters but now I’ve gotta try the egg white method
Looks the a fabulous recipe..thx
Ca me rappel quand j'habitais New York en 1974 dans une famille juive super je vais essayer de faire votre recette🇨🇭🇨🇭 un bonjour de la SUISSE
Awesome chef
I may not be Jewish but I LOVE Matzoh Ball Soup! My mom got this recipe from a Jewish Grandma next door to us and whenever us kids had a cold she made us Maztoh Ball Soup.. Aaah Memories!! 😏😏
I am a floater person LOL my favored soup , used to make a big pot with 30 matzo balls because my kids loved it so much they would have it for breakfast before school . Thanks for a different version of making it , never did whipped egg whites just whip the whole egg and still get light floaters . I will try to make your version .
i like the sinkers myself, but i would love trying this recipe out!
I Love This Recipe... I Love All The Recipes! I'm Mad Because I Do Not See Bizzare Foods On Travel Channel Anymore.... Totally Mad!
I use my mothers rercipe, we like them a bit heavier but I'm going to try this and see. Looks wonderful!
Its amazing how Andrew Zimmern handles smoking hot foods using his bare hands.
I vote for the floaters.. A homey bowl of soup. 😊
Im joining the Jewish community in my area Its such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to try and make this I've had alot of diffrent Jewish food and this looks amazing Especially during the cold day right now sounds bomb .
I love this man
It’s you!!! 😮 I remember your tv program!!!! Omg
Ok, I willingly admit to doubling the recipe for the balls! I love them! I've even been known to just cook them in straight broth if I'm lazy. Lol
Beautiful
You have much talent
Your recipe is Soooo much better than the BA one. The matzah balls are intensely flavorful!
Yum! I love how you said you can eat 400 of them. I can relate!
My sister's recipe is amazing
"I'm kind of a 2 ball person"
Great video.Thank you.Is there anything that can be substituted for the cream of tartar
Yummy 😋 👀delicious ✌️🍀✨
Very cool
Mine are just cream of wheat and whole eggs! So yummy! 5Tbls. To 1 medium egg. For a pot of soup, I use three eggs. Let the bowl moisture sit 10 minutes! After they boil 2 minutes, I just stop the fire and place the lid on, let rest 10 minutes and they are quick and perfect, (floating!)
The best soup for whatever ails ya!
Yum!
................ All I can say is "I'm hungry for Matzah Ball Soup"...............!! I'm betting it tastes as good as it looks. Great job. I was watching this and a thought occurred to me. If I was making beef meatballs and used the baking powder, baking soda and the beaten egg whites, do you think the meatballs would be light and airy.............???? Or would it ruin the flavor.......?? I would never have thought of this until I watched you and you explained the airy floaters. I make wedding soup...... think it's worth a shot....??
I love being Jewish!
@@LordBruuh exactly
Me too
Me three lol
Chag Pesach kasher ve'sameach
Lol I am not but I love it for you
inlike the recipe thank you
Lots of little old Jewish bubbes make lighter-than-air matzoh balls and do not beat the egg whites!
yeah, but they usually use seltzer. Which I like to use too.
I've never used beaten egg whites in my matzoh balls. I want to say that they are no longer considered kosher once you add the beaten egg whites as it would be considered a leavening agent, probably a no go on passover but fine the rest of the year. I boil mine separately in salted water then add to the soup at the end. They come out lightly and fluffy ever time.
Can you give us exact ingredients please
?Is there a substitute for schmaltz? I have every ingredient except that one, and, I've never bought that and would not know where the heck to find it in hellish Phoenix, Arizona. (I used to live in Los Angeles and have no doubt I'd be able to find it there!)
Where did you buy the motzoball meal
Hello, love the recipes. What is motzah meal ? With love from Australia
Matza meal is a powder made from ground matza, which is a Jewish bread (or cracker) traditionally eaten on Passover.
I make my bubbies matzo ball soup which I think was her mothers recipe. I posted it on my page if anyone wants to see another version. I also posted how to make shmultz and gribens.
I love matzo ball soup
Yeah... but no measurement for the seasoning? how much of the ingredients do you put in?
Air into the balls is always therapeutic
watched full video
I don't care if they sink or swim I just want them to not fall apart. I have had that problem in the past so I am looking for new ideas. This looks good but it is enough to feed an army. I'll just use your matzo ball techniques.
I've always wondered why the shallow bowls. Many gallons of broth have been spilled from kitchen to table?
most certainly 😂
Was expecting not to like this because he annoys the piss out of my on bizzare foods. But this looks great
Your soup looks yummier than PJ Bernstein's. Yum.
@0:54 that’s what she said.
This looks delicious, however, I was wondering if you could make this recipe without the chicken fat?
sinkers and floaters lol

I made Matzo Ball soup/broth, from this recipe, two days ago. A friend decided to put off her Seder, until all attendees were fully vaccinated, with the additional 2-week margin of safety.
This was my first venture into making Matzo Balls, and I was slightly terrified!
It was delicious, and received glowing reviews. Thank you.
I roasted the chicken, as opposed to poaching it, and made a lovely broth, adding only vegetables. I saved the meat for another use, as our hostess felt that a full soup, with meat, would make the meal too heavy.
Caty Lynch Your friend is sick in the head full of ignorance, fear and selfishness. Since you told the story now you have my opinion. Be careful with that "friend" of yours.
Andrew I'm a big guy and I have a ferocious appetite but 400 matzah balls
Why are you using leavening? I don’t understand
Use soda water to make them light and fluffy
No salt?
I am on Kito, but I don't have a cheat day, so I will spend 3 days drowning in this, and start over. It is only twice a year. I'm not Jewish, but I celebrate the high holidays
lovely, the only difference is I make the stock the day before so I get the chicken fat fresh.
0:51 every guy could agree.
May not be Jewish for I sure do love good matzo ball soup
If it looks good eat it
At 5:03 you missed an additional Ball pun.opportunity :-)
👍👌😋😄
LOVE❤THAT GREAT MIGHTY GOOD SOUP OOF CHICKEN AND MALTZO. BALLS
Jewish food for the Soul.
Not Jewish but love exploring new dishes. Made my matzo dough as instructed. Douche my hands in oil but my dough is so sticky I can’t roll it into balls. Frustrated.
Call me insane, but I roast my whole chicken, and then turn into broth
Is known it as the Jews Penicillin 🙏❤️❤️
Man he really CH on the CHicken.
