Ingredients

  • 2 chicken fillets
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For matzo balls

  • 1 cup matzo flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Fry chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic in olive oil. Turn on low heat and stir. After 5 minutes, put two fillets in a saucepan and pour in the broth. If the broth does not cover the fillets, add more broth or water. Boil for 20 minutes.
  • Pour the matzo flour into a bowl, make a well in the center and add the egg.
  • Add also olive oil, salt, pepper and baking powder. Knead a firm dough. If the egg is small, you can add a little water.
  • When the fillet is cooked, take it out of the broth and tear it with two forks. Put the chicken back into the broth.
  • With wet hands, form dough into balls 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter. Put the matzo balls into the broth and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
  • After 5-7 minutes, the matzo balls will increase slightly in size. Soup can be served. To make the broth more transparent, you can cook the balls in a separate saucepan and add them to the plate when serving.
