Step By Step

Instructions

For the soup

Clean and break down the chicken into pieces.

Place chicken in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.

Once pot reaches a boil, simmer for 1 hour, periodically skimming fat off the top.

Add vegetables and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove vegetables and chicken (shred chicken and add back in if you wish or cut up and throw back in carrots and celery if you like)

Add salt and pepper to taste.

For the matzo balls

Mix together the eggs and oil in a medium bowl.

Add in package of mix and stir together with fork until evenly combined.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes

While the mix is in the fridge, fill a pot with 3 quarts of water (Note: you can add a little broth into the water, or a bouillon to create more flavorful matzo balls)

Take mix out of the fridge and form into golf-ball sized balls, dropping into the water as you finish.

Cover pot for 20 minutes at a simmer.

Take out matzo balls and add to soup before serving.
