INGREDIENTS

6 tb Schmaltz; (chicken fat)
1 White onion; peeled, diced
3 Celery stalks – (to 4); diced
5 lb Chicken; cut in 8 pieces
2 Bone-in skin-on chicken breasts
3 Carrots – (to 4); peeled, sliced
1 lg Parsnip; peeled
1 bn Dill
1 tb Coarse salt
1 ts Pepper
2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
1 bn Flat-leaf parsley
1 c Matzo meal

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of schmaltz over medium heat. Add
onion, celery, and chicken. Sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add
carrots, parsnip, dill, salt and pepper. Cover ingredients with water, and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. During the
first half hour, skim impurities off the surface of the soup.
Remove the chicken, and reserve. Strain soup through a fine chinois. Add
the carrots and nicer pieces of chicken back into the broth. Reserve 1/2
cup of soup to make the matzo balls. Pour the rest of the soup into a
medium stockpot, cover, and keep on low heat. While the soup is cooking,
make the matzo balls.
In a large bowl, using a whisk, combine the eggs and remaining 4
tablespoons chicken fat. Whisk in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the reserved broth to
moisten. Add matzo meal. Moisten with more chicken broth if needed. Cover
mixture with plastic wrap. Chill until mixture sets, about one hour.
In a large wide-mouthed stockpot, bring water to a boil; then lower heat to
a simmer. Dampen your hands and form matzo into walnut-sized balls. Drop
the balls into the water, and cook for 30 to 45 minutes. The matzo balls
will expand during cooking. With a slotted spoon, remove matzo balls to a
bowl. Ladle hot broth into soup bowls, and place balls in each bowl.
Serves 8 to 10.
