Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken
3 parsnips, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
7 large carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
1 bunch celery, cut into bite-size pieces
1 onion, cut into bite-size pieces
1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
6 cups water
4 eggs
ΒΌ cup vegetable oil
1 cup matzo meal
1 quart chicken stock
1 rotisserie chicken, bones removed and meat cut into bite-size pieces
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place raw chicken in a large stockpot.
  • Add parsnips, carrots, celery, onion, dill, and parsley to the stockpot; cover with water, and boil until the chicken is 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) or begins to fall apart, about 1 hour.
  • Remove chicken from the stock and set aside for another use.
  • Whisk together eggs and oil in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add matzo meal to the bowl with eggs and oil, stirring until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Remove matzo mixture from the refrigerator and gently hand-roll into 1 inch balls. Be careful not to over-roll as this can make the matzo balls tough.
  • In a separate pot, heat chicken stock. Place matzo balls into the stock and simmer until they are soft, at least 1 hour.
  • Transfer the matzo balls into the soup pot with the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, place pieces of the roasted chicken into soup bowls and ladle the chicken soup with matzo balls over it. Enjoy!
