Matzo Ball Soup

After a long day of voting, class, working out and writing, I felt like comfort food tonight. There seems to be no better comfort food than matzo ball soup. It's easy to make with a matzo ball mix, and healthy and vegetarian-friendly, too.

First you mix together 2 T vegetable oil and 2 eggs, then you add the matzo ball mix (I'm sure you could make this from scratch, but this just wasn't that kind of night) and stir. Then put this in the fridge while you make a 2.5-quart vegetable broth in a 4-quart pot, and throw in celery, carrots, egg noodles, or whatever you prefer.

When you take the matzo mix out of the fridge, make 1-inch (or 2-inch for giant matzo balls) balls with your hands and drop them into boiling water. A mix typically makes 6-9 servings for me.

Cover your pot and let simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Enjoy!
