Awesome post. As a college student who is trying to get better at cooking, I terribly enjoy reading this blog. Next time you make the soup, try adding a bit of pureed pumpkin. I look forwards to trying out your recipie!

I hope it will go well, too. It happens around the 28th-30th of this month.

Good luck finding work!

You can also get matzo ball mix without the soup, but really, it is just as easy to make it with the matzo meal from scratch.

But whether you use the ball mix or the meal to make the balls, make the soup starting with broth or a chicken or something. I tend to mistrust dehydrated soup mix things for just the reason you discovered. MSG affects me badly in large quantities, too--it can trigger migraines in me. And since I have been migraine free for about five years now--I don't want to do -ANYTHING- that might break that record. I just don't want to set that shit off, you know?

As for it being good for your diet, yes, if it is kosher, you can eat it for halal.

My next batch of shiksa balls, btw, is going to have fresh roasted garlic in them. We shall see how that goes, probably tomorrow, so we can finish up the rest of the soup.

I shall report on the results.

Thanks for this recipe. When I was blasted sick a few weeks ago, Bry sent me some Manschewicz (and how is that spelled again…) Matzo Ball Soup mix, the kind that is all in the box. It was my first encounter with the soup; it was pretty good, but it had enough MSG in it to give me a thorough headache. So no more of that mix… But your recipe, I will have to try. (I think the matzo meal they make is safe for me…it was in the soup broth.)
