Chicken Vegetable Matzo Ball Soup

Matzo Ball soup is a comfort food for me. I make it a little different then the traditional method, which
does not have vegetables and chicken. I make mine more like a chicken soup with matzo balls as my dumplings. Oh so easy....Oh so yummy!

You can buy just the dumpling mix and use chicken or vegetable broth. That version is a little better for you and less in sodium. Also, you can use fresh chopped vegetables or whatever you really want or have on hand. It can also be made as a vegetarian soup!

This version is my quick and easy version, which I am really into at the moment!! And I know some of you like these type of recipes that make it quick and easy to make a homemade soup without all the fuss.


This is the brand I use from Publix it is in the Jewish food section at your grocery it is called Manischewitz.

I had a friend over last week for lunch and made this soup, she had never had it and loved it.

I take for granted some of my old recipes, thinking everyone must have it, and realize they don't. This one is one not to miss out on this time of year! So, I thought I would share it with you.

I would love to hear from you. Enjoy!
