My thoughts:

Hanukkah is right more than or less the corner equally good equally piece matzo ball soup is a classic Passover dish, I recollect it goes keen with Hanukkah which falls inward a more than classically soup weather condition status 4th dimension of year. So I headed lead for the imbibe aisle equally good equally picked upward a 12-pack of 12-oz cans. I like using canned seltzer for my fluffy matzo balls because it keeps the fizz longer than an opened 2-liter bottle thence I select plenty on manus for many batches of soup! The fizz inward seltzer adds a chip of lightness to the matzo balls equally good equally since it is actually depression sodium equally good equally flavorless, it doesn't interfere with the season of the matzo balls or the soup. It is i of my favorite "secret" ingredients.

It is usual depression temperature equally good equally flu season thence I made this a hearty soup (not alone broth n' balls like but about versions) equally good equally loaded it upward with chicken, carrots, celery, parsnips, garlic and garlic scapes! They don't telephone telephone chicken soup Jewish penicillin for nothing! The garlic equally good equally rich broth are for sure to construct yous sense much better.
