Matzo Ball Soup [0001101]

Ingredients:

For the Matzo Balls:

1 cup gluten-free matzo meal (make sure it's certified gluten-free)
4 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup gluten-free chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

For the Soup:

8 cups gluten-free chicken broth
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds

Instructions:

Making the Matzo Balls:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, gluten-free chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

Gradually stir in the gluten-free matzo meal until the mixture is well combined.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the matzo ball mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.

In a large pot, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

With wet hands, shape the matzo ball mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and drop them into the boiling water.

Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook the matzo balls for about 30-40 minutes, or until they are cooked through and float to the surface.

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the matzo balls to a plate.

Making the Soup:

In a separate large pot, bring the gluten-free chicken broth to a boil.

Add the sliced carrots to the boiling broth and simmer until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Serving:

Ladle the hot gluten-free Matzo Ball Soup into bowls, adding a few matzo balls to each serving.
