Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Matzo Ball Mixture
- In a bowl, combine the matzo meal, eggs, water, and a generous pinch of salt. Mix until they form a soft, moist dough. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Making the Vegetable Broth
- In a large pot, pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Chop the carrots, celery, and onions and add them to the boiling broth. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender and aromatic.
Shaping the Matzo Balls
- Wet your hands with a bit of water, take about a tablespoon of the matzo ball mixture, and roll it into a ball. Drop these into the boiling soup.
Simmer & Enjoy
- Reduce heat to low and allow the matzo balls to simmer gently for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
Garnish & Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped dill, and serve warm.
Notes
Chill the matzo ball dough for a fluffy texture. Adjust the stickiness with matzo meal if needed. Simmer longer for softer matzo balls.
