Ingredients
Scale
6 cups chicken broth
1 cup matzo meal
3 large eggs
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, diced
2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine matzo meal, eggs, a pinch of salt, water, and oil. Mix until well blended and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
In a large pot over medium heat, bring chicken broth and chopped vegetables to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender (about 15–20 minutes).
Stir in fresh dill and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Form the chilled matzo mixture into small balls (approximately one inch in diameter) and gently drop them into the simmering broth. Cover the pot and cook for about 20 minutes or until matzo balls float to the surface.
Serve hot, garnished with additional dill if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, combine chicken and vegetable broths.
Customize your soup by adding spinach or peas for extra nutrients.
To keep the matzo balls fluffy, avoid overcrowding them while cooking.
