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.
