This is the tale of my first attempt at matzo ball soup. And though attempt implies failure (or at least lack of success, which this was not), I chose the word for one reason – I used a boxed matzo ball mix. It was not for lack of trying. At the time, it was just a few days before passover. I was determined to make the soup and so set out for the grocery store, list in hand. After pulling all my ingredients off the shelves, I turned to the shelf where there should have been matzo meal. Harris Teeter was out.
I took my two canvas bags to the counter, paid and filled them, and moved on to the Safeway. And then the Giant. I went to 5 grocery stores, only to find that all were out of matzo meal. As it turns out, DC grocery stores need to work on stocking up pre-passover.
This is another of my mom’s delicious soups. It’s actually my favorite of my mom’s delicious soups. It is kind of like a chicken stew (if stew involved dill, which I’m pretty sure it never does. As a side note, I love dill.). I like to make it in huge quantities so that I can freeze half of it for a rainy (or snowy) day. Or a day that is neither rainy nor snowy, but instead just ridiculously busy.
