Matzo-Ball-Soup

As the holiday approach us, let's not forget to make Matzo Ball Soup for Hanukkah. I got this simple recipe from a friends of mine many, many years ago when I went to there home to celebrate a night of Hanukkah.

Matzo Ball Soup
There was so much food to pick from but the Matzo Ball Soup was my favorite that evening and the pot was full of Matzo Balls. Traditionally Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar. 

Matzo Ball Soup
Which can be in late November to late December. This holiday is decorated in blue and silver and a menorah is  present to light  each day of celebration.

Matzo Ball SoupI remember that evening very well because of all the story telling everyone in the room was doing. Not to mention guest had flown in from Israel to celebrate with the family so the childhood stories came out.

Matzo Ball SoupSo I of course had to ask, "Who made the Matzo Ball Soup ?" Sure enough my friend said it was his sister and they had a short cut that it would be easy to make Matzo Ball Soup.

dsc_0666I think I have had this recipe for over 15 years and would like to share it with you. I make this when I have a cold or just to enjoy on a cold winter night.
