Wow! This is an awesome soup. This little protestant impressed her jewish neighbors with this wonderful soup:) I have to admit to being a bit too frugal to use two whole chickens so I removed most of the meat from a warm rotisserie chicken and reserved the meat in the frig. I then threw that carcass and another frozen carcass in the pot and cooked as directed. I also added two sweet potatoes (as requested by neighbors) and I added 2 Tablespoons of grebenes (chicken cracklings) to the Matzoh ball dough. I do have to say that this makes a huge amount of matzoh balls so next time I may cut the dough in half. These little balls expand very nicely to about double the size. I used my small spring loaded cookie scoop to make perfect 1 inch balls. This helps the problem of over handling and toughening the matzoh balls. Love this and this will be my matzoh ball soup from now on. Thanks so much for sharing JacobAngel. I know there is a special place in heaven for the grandparents who taught you this wonderful recipe!

This soup was very delicious! I followed the recipe exactly but I didn't cook the chicken in the water with the veggies. Even though I didn't do this it still came out fantastic! However someone made this soup and cooked the chicken with the veggies and it gave the soup a very nice flavor! In the end it was the best matzo soup I've ever made!
I made this on a chilly rainy day. I followed the recipe exactly except I left out the rotisserie chicken. What a perfect comfort food. I have also made this and strained everything out at the end so I was left with only broth and matza balls. It's even delicious that way! Either way this is a keeper! Thanks to the Angel Family!
I think I didn't add enough water...it ended up being not so much of a soup...
I make at least 2 soups a week in Winter and I have been craving some new soup that I wasn't sure what that craving was. After 3 days of cruising recipes on and off I came upon this one. I knew instantly that Matzo Ball soup was that craving!! Well I just made it and it hit right on spot and more! Yum yum and Yummly!
Marvelous Chicken and Matzo Ball Soup! It's my "go to" when I start feeling like I'm coming down with a cold. I start feeling better every time! Thank you for sharing this wonderful family tradition!:)
A nice blend of comforting food! Made with 2 sweet potatoes as recommended by someone else.
