Matzo Ball Soup

January 29th, 2013

soup final 1

When you’re not feeling your best, there are few foods more soothing than chicken soup (though Cool Ranch Doritos are a close second for me). In light of this year’s flu season, my husband decided to make homemade broth with matzoh balls. It’s a simple recipe that includes some non-traditional spices, to provide a slight kick. It takes a bit longer than heating a can of soup in the microwave, but this is the next best thing to having your favorite Jewish deli deliver.

    I’ve never had matzo ball soup, but it looks so tasty and comforting, especially with the tragic weather we’ve been having here!

    Having just come down with the flu and missing my mum halfway across the world, I am totally going to have to make myself some soup. This one looks like a good brew! x

    My husband is sick right now, and this looks like a great option for him. Swallowing his food has been tough lately. He’s mostly taken to a diet of paczki (it’s a Polish doughnut only sold around Fat Tuesday…they’re amazing and so bad for you), which is making my whole “staying healthy” thing kind of hard right now.

    Delicious!

    I was recently suffering from bronchitis and the only thing my body craved was broth. This would have been a perfect alternative to Top Ramen [although the ramen was good].
