Matzo Ball Soup - Calliope - 03-02-2009
I love this soup, but I've never felt that I've made it well. I can make a good chicken stock, but the balls are not so great and it just doesn't taste like what I've had made by others. Maybe it's because I'm Catholic!
Anyone have a favorite recipe?

No, I sure don't, but like you, just love a good bowl of matzo ball soup. Someone on the forum MUST have a good recipe to share.
Nice to see you on the forum Calliope!

Hey, Calliope! I have some recipes, but I haven't tried to make any of them. Hoping someone comes along soon with a good recipe!

Every matzo ball soup I have ever made ends up with lead balls----this is one of those recipes I just can't get to work....and I have tried many. Maybe it's because I'm Catholic too----
Can't wait for a tried and true to pop up!

Hi,
We are jewish and i make that soup at least once a month. I tried numerous recipes and honestly the best matzo balls that are fluffy and light come out from Manishewitz Matzo ball mix. It is easy to do, just follow directions. There are two types of boxes usually on the shelves of the store: Matzo ball mix and matzo ball mix and soup, get the one that just has the mix. Homemade chicken broth is so much better. All of these go on sale right about now. In our local grocery stores we buy two boxes for three dollars and each box has two packages of the mix. I usually stock up on them for the whole year. I hope that helps.

Well, it helps me! I'm going to look for this one.
Sheesh, I haven't had matzo since Brooklyn. YUM

It helps me too. That's a common item in our grocery stores. I just never tried it before, always thinking that "homemade" had to be better!
