CHICKEN SOUP WITH MATZO BALLS
"Every nationality has some kind of chicken soup. It's one of the simplest meals you can make and almost everyone can find a chicken and some vegetables to cook up a big, satisfying pot of soup for the family. Some people even ascribe magical medicinal qualities to chicken soup, and who am I to disagree? The Greeks have a chicken and lemon soup called avgolemono, Italians make tortellini en brodo, the Vietnamese have pho and, of course, the Chinese make egg drop soup with chicken broth. I grew up on chicken soup with matzo balls, so that's my particular favorite. The broth starts with whole chickens and vegetables, plus fresh herbs like parsley and thyme, an entire head of garlic and lots of salt and pepper. I simmer it away for hours while I futz around the house and make some easy matzo balls. I end up with a rich, delicious soup that will delight everyone on a cold night!" says Ina.

Steps:
- Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic and seasonings in a 16- to 20-quart stockpot. Add 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Remove 2 of the chickens and allow to cool slightly. Remove the breast meat from both chickens and set aside. Return the remaining chicken and carcasses to the pot and continue simmering, uncovered, for 3 more hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander and chill. Remove the surface fat, then reheat the stock as follows, or pack in containers and freeze.
- To serve the soup, return the stock to the pot and reheat, adding the diced carrots, celery, dill and parsley. Shred the reserved chicken breast meat into large pieces and add to the stock. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to cook the vegetables and reheat the chicken. Season to taste and serve as is, or ladle each serving over 1 or 2 warm matzo balls.
- Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup chicken stock, chicken fat, parsley and salt. Stir in the matzo meal. In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Whisk them into the matzo mixture until it is smooth. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the mixture is thick.
- Bring a pot of chicken stock to a simmer (about 3 quarts). Form matzo balls the size of golf balls by shaping them with 2 spoons, rolling them with your hands or scooping them with a small ice cream scoop. Drop them into the simmering stock and cook for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and puffed, turning once. Remove and serve hot in the chicken soup.

BUTTER BALLS FOR CHICKEN BROTH OR NOODLE SOUP
Because food prices are going through the roof I decided to post. Use day old or older bread. Use the crusts also. This is a German recipe from my relatives.You don't have to use cream, evaporated milk, half and half will do. I use "I Can't Believe it is Butter" spread instead of butter or margarine. It is my posted recipe and it works well. The idea is taste, not cost. Cook the last five minutes in chicken noodle soup or vegetable soup. Note: You can use Egg Beaters instead of the eggs. Add a dash of cornstarch to the Eggbeaters.

BUFFALO CHICKEN CHEESE BALLS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP
These are simple, delicious and pefect for Super Bowl Sunday or any party! My family and friends always rave about them, sometimes I have to make an extra batch because they go so fast. You don't have to use a rotisserie chicken, but it sure cuts back on the time. If you don't like things too spicy, you can always cut back on the hot sauce and green onions.I like to use peanut oil for frying. They freeze well too. Making the dip ahead of time, then placing in fridge, allows the flavors to marry well. Bring it back to room temp to serve. This is adapted from a Food Network Show, Big Daddy's House. The chef is Aaron McCargo Jr. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then transfer to a medium bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- While the rice is soaking, marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice, chicken stock, orange zest, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. 3. Transfer half of the marinade to a large bowl, setting the rest aside.
- Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl of marinade. Toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Drain the rice, then add to a heavy-bottomed pot with the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. 6. Remove the pan from the heat, keeping covered, and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup (40 G) cornstarch, the flour, and salt.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss until well coated.
- Leaving ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of space at the top, alternately thread 2 rice balls and 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, allowing them to touch.
- Fry the skewers in the hot oil, a few at a time, for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Brush the skewers with the sauce.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.

Steps:
- For the soup:
- Place chicken, celery, carrots, onions, fennel, garlic, bay leaf, and parsley and dill with stems in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Gently simmer, partially covered, skimming off any foam that accumulates, until chicken is very tender and falling off the bone, about 1 1/2-2 hours.
- While the soup is simmering, make the matzo balls: Using a fork, mix together the eggs, oil, matzo meal, seltzer water, dill, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep water at a simmer.
- Moisten your hands with water. Scoop out a rounded tablespoonful of chilled matzo ball batter and very gently pat into a 1" ball (avoid squeezing too hard or rolling too much). Drop into simmering water and repeat with remaining batter. Cover pot and gently simmer until matzo balls are tender and puffed, 40-45 minutes. Drain matzo balls and return to the pot; cover and keep in a warm place.
- Remove chicken and vegetables from the chicken broth with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cutting board; let rest until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Return the strained broth to the pot. Using your fingers, remove chicken meat from bones and shred into bite-sized pieces. Slice vegetables into bite-size pieces. Place chicken and vegetables in broth, cover pot, and set aside in a warm place until ready to serve.
- To serve, add kale to broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale softens, 3-5 minutes. Season soup generously with salt and pepper.
- Divide matzo balls among bowls and ladle soup on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and dill before serving.
- Do Ahead
- Matzo balls can be cooled to room temperature, then stored, covered, in the fridge up to 1 day. Soup can be made until just before adding kale, cooled to room temperature, then stored in a covered container in the fridge up to 1 day. Reheat, then add kale and simmer for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. They are lean and cook quickly.
- Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Use a light coating on the chicken. Too much coating will make the chicken balls greasy and heavy.
- Cook the chicken balls over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning the coating.
- Serve the chicken balls with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or honey garlic sauce are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Chicken balls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them sweet, sour, or spicy, there is a chicken ball recipe out there for you. So get creative and experiment with different flavors and ingredients to find your perfect chicken ball recipe.
