CHICKEN MATZO BALL SOUP
The keys to this amazing chicken matzo ball soup are slow-cooking it and using boxed matzo ball mix. Some people swear by seltzer, but I find it's not necessary-the mix makes perfect, fluffy matzo balls every time due to its baking powder. Add chicken fat (schmaltz) for extra-authentic flavor. The matzo balls will taste as if they came straight from Grandma's kitchen. -Shannon Sarna, South Orange, New Jersey

THROWDOWN'S MATZO BALL SOUP
Steps:
- For the matzo balls:
- Heat the chicken fat over medium heat in a small pan. Add the chives and cook for 30 seconds. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, dill, seltzer, sugar, and salt and pepper and whisk until combined. Add the matzo meal and the chicken fat/chive mixture and stir to combine. Cover well and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Form the matzo mixture into 8 equal size balls, about 1 3/4 ounces each, add to the water, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook until very tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the pot with the chicken stock and cook for 5 minutes before serving. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and serve.
- For the chicken stock:
- Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot and add enough cold water to cover by 2-inches. Bring to a boil, over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, skimming the scum from the stock with a ladle, every 15 minutes, for 3 hours. Strain into a large bowl and discard the solids.
- Transfer to a large saucepan and cook until reduced by half. Add the roasted jalapenos for the last 10 minutes or of simmering, then remove. Season with salt, pepper and freshly chopped dill.
Tips:
- To make the matzo balls light and fluffy, make sure the matzo meal is fresh and the eggs are cold. - Don't overmix the matzo ball mixture. Overmixing will make the matzo balls tough. - Bring the soup to a boil before adding the matzo balls. This will help the matzo balls cook evenly. - Do not overcrowd the pot with matzo balls. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Simmer the matzo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. - To make the soup more flavorful, use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions. - You can also add meat or chicken to the soup for a more hearty meal. - Serve the soup with fresh dill or parsley for garnish.Conclusion:
