Week 170: Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls
Hi all!
Thank you so much for the overly enthusiastic welcome back .... The pepperoni bread was a hit, we made the most bread ever last week at 56 loaves. And promise to offer it again for those that missed out!!
So while not a single notebook or folder has been purchased yet, my kids are returning to school on Monday. I think we're all struggling to admit that summer is over and they will be back in the classroom for most of their day. The only way I know how to soften that blow is through food.... so this week's menu features classic kids' favorites.
On the menu for TUESDAY, AUGUST 31st 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, shredded 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.
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!!
