Star Wars Matzo Ball Soup

The Death Star. Sinker or floater? Celery TIE fighters, carrot rebel cruisers and assorted mushroom spacecraft from the Empire swirl around in the galactic chicken broth. An adventure in your mouth. Can you polish off the invincible Death Star? This is not your grandma's matzo ball soup.

May the schmaltz be with you.

Quick and easy... OK, not like grandma used to make but done with some modern conveniences. If you want traditional, you can go with old-world recipes.


Note: There are some serious soup Na gourmets here. Never argue with someone holding a knife. Hot soup is hot. Hot soup is good. Basic eating and cooking skills necessary. Proceed with caution.

Step 1 Read the ingredients

I used a box of Matzo ball mix. Yeah, so sue me.
Watch the sodium depending on the brand you get.  You can also make from scratch and go with a crushed box of matzo crackers, eggs, and a pinch of salt

celery
carrots
onions,  Oy, I forgot to put the onions in.

olive oil
eggs

salt
pepper

Chicken broth
I prefer the low sodium kind, can be organic depending on the brand, you can use chicken bullion/base or veggie stock.
You can make your own by boiling the heck out a chicken for a few hours, skimming off the flotsam and jetsam as needed.

Fat
I am going to use a splash of olive oil.
Schmaltz or rendered chicken fat is the traditional ingredient. Go for it if you want to tinker with your cholesterol level.
I guess you could think about using bacon drippings. You would be a sinner or a saint, depending on who you serve it to.
