How to Make Cancer Curing Matzah Ball Soup

  1. **Prepare the Broth:** Shred 2 cups of cooked chicken breasts. In a large stockpot, combine the shredded chicken, 2 cups chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, and 1 cup chopped baby carrots.
  2. **Add Liquids:** Add 3 (32-ounce) containers of chicken broth to the pot. Fill the empty containers with water and add that to the pot as well (approximately 1 ½ gallons total).
  3. **Season:** Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried dill, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder (adjust seasonings to taste).
  4. **Simmer:** Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 90 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  5. **Make Matzah Balls (Regular):** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Gradually whisk in 2 cups matzah meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate the matzah ball mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  7. **Cook Matzah Balls:** In a separate large pot, combine 1 (32-ounce) container of chicken broth with 1 (32-ounce) container of water. Bring to a simmer.
  8. **Shape & Boil:** With moistened hands, gently form the matzah ball mixture into 1-inch balls (do not pack tightly). Add to the simmering broth, cover, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
  9. **Cook Matzah Balls:** Simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the matzah balls are light and fluffy.
  10. **Make Stuffed Matzah Balls (Optional):** Follow step 5, but add 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives) to the matzah ball mixture. Wrap a small amount of the herb mixture in the center of each matzah ball before dropping them into the broth.
  11. **Combine & Serve:** Gently add the cooked matzah balls and their broth to the chicken soup. Simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot!
