Ingredients

FOR THE MATZO BALLS --

  • 1/2 cup matzo meal or matzo ball mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt (do not add if using matzo ball mix)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (do not add if using matzo ball mix)

FOR THE SOUP --

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced

  • 6 cups vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bay leaf

Steps

  • 1
    To make the matzo balls: In a large bowl, stir together matzo meal, eggs, oil, stock, salt and pepper until just combined. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove matzo ball mix from refrigerator and, using wet hands, roll into 12 (1-inch) balls.
  • 3
    Carefully drop balls into boiling water, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Let matzo balls cook 30 minutes until tender.

    While the matzo balls are simmering, make the soup: Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and carrots and saute until slightly soft, about 5 minutes.

    Add vegetable stock, salt, pepper and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
  • 6
    Add scallions and parsley and cook another 5 minutes.

    Spoon cooked matzo balls into bowls and top with soup. Top with a few sprigs of dill and serve.
