Ingredients
  

  • 2 packets Streit's Gluten Free Matzo Ball Mix (1 box has 2 packets in it)
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 Tbsp canola or olive oil (plus oil for cooking veggies)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup carrots (diced or coins )
  • 1 cup celery (chopped)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 3 quarts vegetable or chicken stock (good quality or home made)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh dill or flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (*optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl beat the eggs and oil until well combined. Add the packets of matzo ball mix and stir well until combined completely. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, form the matzo dough into balls. I use a small scoop or tablespoon to keep them uniform in size. Cover with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge until ready to boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a large stock pot on medium heat, drizzle a little olive oil. Once it has heated up, add your onions, carrots and celery. Cook only until they soften slightly. Add the garlic and stir for a minute or two making sure it doesn't stick to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the vegetable or chicken broth and turn the heat up to high. Once it begins boiling, carefully add the matzo balls one by one using a long handled spoon. Cover, turning the heat to a low boil for 30 minutes.
  • If you want to add shredded cooked chicken, added it about 5 minutes before you are ready to serve. When you are ready to serve, add the dill or parsley.
  • Ladle into a bowl and sprinkle with more herbs if you'd like.
