Week 161: Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls

Hello!

Last week not only was my math wrong and I made more soup than I meant .... but the soup was also much spicier than I expected. In fact, the last two menus featured soups that were intended to have only a small spicy bite, but ended up with more of a strong kick. I apologize for being heavy handed with the spices, I promise to tone it down the next time the soup calls for a little heat.

On the bright side, this week's menu features a soup with very simple ingredients and only the spices salt and pepper. And with Passover beginning this weekend it's only fair that I share Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls with all of you.

On the menu for TUESDAY, MARCH 30th is CHICKEN SOUP WITH MATZO BALLS and CHALLAH. The soup is a simple one....whole amish chickens, quartered onions, celery sticks and more diced carrots than seems reasonable are dropped into a pot and covered with fresh water. Once the soup comes to a boil, it simmers for a few hours. Afterwards, the chicken is taken out, diced and dropped back in along with soft, pillowy matzo balls and thin egg noodles. While I put a fresh garnish on nearly everything I make, this soup I leave alone. It requires nothing. And for those keeping kosher for Passover the matzo balls are pareve and I will happily leave out the noodles for you ... just email me after you place your order and I will take care of it.

My bread companion this week is Challah, a soft, eggy bread coated in everything bagel seasoning. Nothing goes together better than challah and chicken soup with matzo balls. With it being Passover, it's going to be a big test of willpower to bake it for all of you and not eat any!

On the menu for dessert are CREAM CHEESE COOKIES N’ CREAM COOKIES! These are surely a customer favorite and one of my favorites as well! Chopped up Oreos are placed into the batter that is creamy and soft due to a slight amount of cream cheese. They are a delicious soft and chewy cookie! ~ Jenny from Jenny Sue Delights

I look forward to feeding your families & Happy Passover!!
