GET COOKIN'

  1. Simmer chicken stock, water, parsley stems, and bay leaf in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix the matzo meal, eggs, olive oil, salt, parsley, and thyme. (Add a few tablespoons of stock to mix if it’s looking too dry.) Place into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  3. Pull the matzo mix out the fridge and shape into 4 balls. Carefully place the balls into simmering stock.
  4. Add carrot rounds to soup and cook until tender and matzo balls are puffy, about 20-30 minutes.
