  • 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 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.

    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 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 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

    • @S0filthygorgeous
      @S0filthygorgeous 6 місяців тому

      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.

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....??

    • @misterrbl5156
      @misterrbl5156 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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.
