Matzo Ball Soup

Matzo Ball Soup
Matzo balls from Streit's Matzo Ball mix.
Soup recipe from BettyCrocker.com ("Chicken-Matzo Ball Soup").

Made for dinner with Liz! I made the matzo ball batter and chopped all of the soup ingredients the night before. Just used chicken stock, rather than Progresso chicken broth as the recipe calls for. The matzo ball mix package came with enough meal to make two sets of matzo balls, but I wasn't sure how much we would need for the soup so I went ahead and made both of them. I had too much matzo! It was fine when we first made it, but for left-overs, the matzo kept absorbing the broth so after a day or two it was just very plump matzo balls. Soup-flavored matzo balls, if you will. I ate matzo ball soup for a week since it made so much.

Things learned:
- How to make matzo from a mix

Next time I make this:
- Don't add any salt; the broth and the matzo are salty enough already
- Just make one package of matzo balls, two was way too much for one person left-overs
