A Passover staple, matzoh ball soup is Jewish penicillin. Before I had a bottle in my mouth I was sipping on this soup, and it’s remained one of my top five favorite foods. This is the only recipe I’ve come across that measures up to my grandmother’s. This matzoh ball is a floater. To make good floaters, you have to get air into the balls, which is best achieved with beaten egg whites.

I'm Latino a chef I remember food from my heritage Mexican Honduran but I was a Bolony slicer for fifteen years I kick myself because I never learned how to make matzo balls pot and meat knish Schmaltz so show me what you know SO WHAT I BOTHER YOU
NOW JUST HOLD ON, RUTABAGA, RUTABAGA IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND I'VE NEVER HAD RUTABAGA IN CHICKEN SOUP!
I'm sorry Andrew I love you man but you just made millions of Jewish Bubbies turn over in their grave 🤣…
You Got To have carrots, parsnips and one turnip, plus the onions, the celery, the parsley and Dill, garlic, salt & pepper and always a teaspoon full of sugar in order for this to be Bubby approved!
Boil ➡️ cover and simmer for an hour
I fell in love with this soup as a little kid,at a classmates house. Delicious
Where did you buy the motzoball meal
DO YOU EAT PIG ??
I’m Mexican American and I’ve always wanted to try Matzoh Ball Soup. This recipe looks amazing. Thank you Andrew for sharing your recipes. I am a fan since I saw your show Bizarre Foods. ❤
Yes, this is one kick ass soup 🍲
I'm not Jewish either but these are my favorite dumplings. There is something so comforting about chicken soup with matzo balls, one of my favorite soups ever, right up there with French onion soup.
At 5:03 you missed an additional Ball pun.opportunity 🙂
What is tartar od cream, shmalzt?.
I’m not Jew but l want to try but l don’t follow of your “English “. Your chicken soup is joke from plastic bottles.
I'm at church
Fettuccine
Stroganoff
I don't care if they sink or swim I just want them to not fall apart. I have had that problem in the past so I am looking for new ideas. This looks good but it is enough to feed an army. I'll just use your matzo ball techniques.
0:51 every guy could agree.
I just wanna push his glasses back, just a little bit
This just changed my MB game. I'd only ever been taught sinkers, but I've always love floaters. Now I know! Thanks, andrew!
May not be Jewish for I sure do love good matzo ball soup
lovely, the only difference is I make the stock the day before so I get the chicken fat fresh.
My sister's recipe is amazing
Ok, I willingly admit to doubling the recipe for the balls! I love them! I've even been known to just cook them in straight broth if I'm lazy. Lol
You have much talent
Hello, love the recipes. What is motzah meal ? With love from Australia
I vote for the floaters.. A homey bowl of soup. 😊
Your soup looks yummier than PJ Bernstein's. Yum.
