Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, optional
1/2 cup clarified unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups matzoh meal
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup club soda
10 cups chicken soup

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and cayenne, if using. Whisk in the butter, and then the matzoh meal and baking powder. Whisk in the club soda until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours.
  • Place the chicken soup in a large pot and bring to boil. Whisk the matzoh ball mixture. With moistened hands, form the matzoh mixture into 16 2-inch balls. Drop the balls into the soup, reduce heat so the soup simmers and cook for 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove matzoh balls to a clean, dry towel. Ladle the soup into bowls and place 1 or 2 matzoh balls in each. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my matzo balls turned out really dense.

These matzo balls were the perfect addition to my chicken soup. They were light and fluffy, and they soaked up the flavor of the soup perfectly.

The matzo balls were too soft. I think I overcooked them.

The matzo balls were a little bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.
