SAFFRON CHICKEN BROTH WITH SPINACH MATZO BALLS
Steps:
- For saffron chicken broth:
- Bring all ingredients to boil in very large pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain broth into another pot. Spoon 1/4 cup fat from top of broth and place in medium bowl; add 1/4 cup broth. Cool fat mixture and reserve for matzo balls. Remove enough meat from chicken wings to measure 1 generous cup. Finely mince chicken; reserve for matzo balls. Chill remaining broth until ready to use. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)
- For matzo balls:
- Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper into chicken fat mixture. Mix in matzo meal, then spinach and reserved minced chicken. Cover and chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Bring large pot of generously salted water to boil. Using wet hands and about 2 tablespoons for each, shape matzo mixture into 16 balls; drop into boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer matzo balls to 13x9x2-inch dish. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
- Skim any fat from top of broth; bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add cooked matzo balls; simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Ladle broth and 2 matzo balls into each of 8 bowls and serve.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH MATZO BALLS
"Every nationality has some kind of chicken soup. It's one of the simplest meals you can make and almost everyone can find a chicken and some vegetables to cook up a big, satisfying pot of soup for the family. Some people even ascribe magical medicinal qualities to chicken soup, and who am I to disagree? The Greeks have a chicken and lemon soup called avgolemono, Italians make tortellini en brodo, the Vietnamese have pho and, of course, the Chinese make egg drop soup with chicken broth. I grew up on chicken soup with matzo balls, so that's my particular favorite. The broth starts with whole chickens and vegetables, plus fresh herbs like parsley and thyme, an entire head of garlic and lots of salt and pepper. I simmer it away for hours while I futz around the house and make some easy matzo balls. I end up with a rich, delicious soup that will delight everyone on a cold night!" says Ina.

Steps:
- Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic and seasonings in a 16- to 20-quart stockpot. Add 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Remove 2 of the chickens and allow to cool slightly. Remove the breast meat from both chickens and set aside. Return the remaining chicken and carcasses to the pot and continue simmering, uncovered, for 3 more hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander and chill. Remove the surface fat, then reheat the stock as follows, or pack in containers and freeze.
- To serve the soup, return the stock to the pot and reheat, adding the diced carrots, celery, dill and parsley. Shred the reserved chicken breast meat into large pieces and add to the stock. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to cook the vegetables and reheat the chicken. Season to taste and serve as is, or ladle each serving over 1 or 2 warm matzo balls.
- Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup chicken stock, chicken fat, parsley and salt. Stir in the matzo meal. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Whisk them into the matzo mixture until it is smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the mixture is thick.
- Bring a pot of chicken stock to a simmer (about 3 quarts). Form matzo balls the size of golf balls by shaping them with 2 spoons, rolling them with your hands or scooping them with a small ice cream scoop. Drop them into the simmering stock and cook for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and puffed, turning once. Remove and serve hot in the chicken soup.
MATZO BALL SOUP
This delectable Matzo Ball Soup brings chicken, carrots, celery and onions together in a lightly seasoned chicken broth with light airy matzo balls. For ease and simplicity I use already cooked roasted chicken for this recipe. I also use good quality store bought chicken broth in place of homemade chicken broth. Sometimes life...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs together and then whisk in the oil.
- 2. In a separate medium bowl whisk together the matzo meal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill and black pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the matzo meal mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- 3. In a Dutch oven or large stockpot heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots. Cook until the onions and celery are soft; approximately 6-8 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and dill; cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Add the bay leaves and chicken broth. Bring to a low simmer and add the chicken.
- 4. Then using a small scoop or tablespoon drop the matzo mixture into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or the matzo balls are puffed up and the vegetables are tender. Remove bay leaves and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
- 5. NOTES Carrots colors are prettier if you peel them. The matzo ball mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, covered and stored in the refrigerator. Matzo meal is simply matzo crackers ground finely into meal. I use my food processor to grind them. Most local grocery stores carry matzo crackers. Any kind of roasted, baked, or poached chicken will work. It can be cubed, diced or shredded. As long as it tastes good than it is a go. Do not overmix the matzo ball mixture as it can make it tough. Use a cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons to add the balls to the soup. I like light and airy matzo balls but if you prefer denser heavier ones than cut the baking powder in half or omit it all together. If you have the time make your own Homemade Chicken Stock it will add flavor and depth to the soup. Don't forget to remove your bay leaves as they have sharp edges.
CHICKEN MATZO BALL SOUP
The keys to this amazing chicken matzo ball soup are slow-cooking it and using boxed matzo ball mix. Some people swear by seltzer, but I find it's not necessary-the mix makes perfect, fluffy matzo balls every time due to its baking powder. Add chicken fat (schmaltz) for extra-authentic flavor. The matzo balls will taste as if they came straight from Grandma's kitchen. -Shannon Sarna, South Orange, New Jersey

Steps:
- Wipe the chicken with kitchen paper and put in a large saucepan with the giblets. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim away any scum with a large spoon or ladle every few mins for about 30 mins until no more comes to the surface. Crumble in the stock cubes and add the bay leaf, peppercorns and vegetables.
- Bring to the boil again, then reduce the heat to very low. Cover and simmer gently for 3-3 1 /2 hrs.
- Leave the soup to cool a little, then transfer to the fridge overnight.
- Once chilled, the fat from the soup will rise to the top. Save 11 /2 tbsp for the matzo balls and set aside, then use a large spoon to remove as much as you can. Remove the chicken, shred all the meat, then add it back to the pan. Put the soup back on the heat and skim away any remaining fat while you bring it to the boil.
- Meanwhile, make the matzo balls by combining the fat, egg, matzo meal and 1/2 tbsp warm water. Stir into a paste, adding a little more water if needed, then chill for 10-15 mins. Roll into about 12 small balls. Dampen your hands if the mixture is too sticky.
- Drop the matzo balls into the soup for a few mins. Scatter with parsley and serve with challah bread, if you like.

TRADITIONAL HARD MATZO BALL SOUP
There is a real richness to this matzo ball soup thanks to the homemade chicken broth. We loved the texture of the matzo balls. Make sure to get a bit of chicken, some noodles, and matzo ball onto your spoon... it's a heavenly bite. If the noodles absorb a lot of the broth, add a little extra store-bought chicken broth and taste...
