You will need:

1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken (you can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken from the grocery store)

1 package of Streit’s Matzo Ball Mix   (click here to see on Amazon – affiliate link)

2 eggs

¼ cup vegetable oil

48 oz. carton Chicken broth

½ medium onion, chopped

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

1 clove garlic, chopped fine

Fresh dill for garnish (*optional)

Fresh ground pepper

Directions for Super Easy Matzo Ball Soup:

First slice carrots, celery and chop the garlic and onions.

Next place the vegetables in a large stock pot along with the chicken broth and simmer for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Now gather the ingredients for the matzo balls according to the package instructions – I use Streit’s Matzo Ball Mix. I’ve tried other brands, but I like Streit’s the best because they are so flavorful and taste the most like homemade.

Mix the eggs and oil in a small bowl with a fork or whisk until frothy

Mix the eggs mixture and the matzo crumbs together and let rest for at least 15 minutes

Roll into walnut size balls

Now cook the matzo balls in a separate pot according to package instructions.  (I don’t like cooking the matzo balls in the soup broth because it makes the broth starchy and cloudy).

When matzo balls are done, use a slotted spoon and add the matzo balls and shredded cooked chicken to the soup and serve. Add freshly ground pepper and dill to taste.
