Semi-homemade Matzo Ball Soup

I feel like it has been forever since I posted something. I guess I've been eating out too many times lately and not cooking at home. Yesterday I decided to make matzo ball soup.

Instead of using the packaged mix to make the broth, I used bones from roasted turkey breast I had last week. I made the broth seasoned with onions, peppercorns and a bay leaf. I then made matzo balls from a mix.

When it was time to add matzo balls to the boiling broth, I also added two carrots sliced into 1/8 inch. Once everything has been simmering (covered!) for fifteen minutes, I added a cup of defrosted peas. Five minutes later, lunch was done!

  3. I've never had peas in chicken matzo ball soup, sounds interesting. We like dill, tomatoes, carrots and leek in ours.
