Andrew Zimmern Cooks: Matzoh Ball Soup

[@leedawson22]

I'm African American and I have to say matzo ball soup is my favorite of all time. NJ diners have some of the best. :)

[@CutegirlSL]

Yes they do. But homemade is always best. :)

[@constantinvaldor2281]

I made it tonight (Oct. 7) using the recipe on your website. Figured our family needed some good matzo ball soup medicine. Fantastic recipe!

[@rochelleb973]

I fell in love with this soup as a little kid,at a classmates house. Delicious

[@mamabearser-el5422]

I’m Mexican American and I’ve always wanted to try Matzoh Ball Soup. This recipe looks amazing. Thank you Andrew for sharing your recipes. I am a fan since I saw your show Bizarre Foods. ❤

[@meghoughton562]

You definitely should! They even sell the mix at most grocery stores. DELISH 😋🤤

[@perrijohnson9627]

I'm not Jewish either but these are my favorite dumplings. There is something so comforting about chicken soup with matzo balls, one of my favorite soups ever, right up there with French onion soup.

[@robinnordedavis4057]

I am not Jewish, but decided to try this recipe...and I am hooked! Wonderful recipe Andrew. Thank you!

[@LeahElisheva]

Wonderful recipe! I like how you beat the egg whites and also add minced onions right to the mixture. I’ll be trying this for Shabbos this week. I’m feeling really drained and tired already this week. This is just what I need - 💜

[@jbush7]

"This soup will get one up from the deathbed," my grandma always says. I agree, no better food on this planet!

[@VivKittie32]

It’s the most comforting soup I’ve ever had. ❤

[@OSOLOC13]

I remember growing up watching bizarre food and being interested in different kinds of food and experiencing culinary arts of different places thank you andrew

[@marcellacruser951]

This just changed my MB game. I'd only ever been taught sinkers, but I've always love floaters. Now I know! Thanks, andrew!

[@billb5690]

Yes, this is one kick ass soup 🍲

[@kimmy0868]

This is hands down the BEST RECIPE FOR MATZA!!! Today, I only had extra large eggs, didn’t think about it until it was mixed and sitting in the fridge. I thought, well if anything they might be a little stiff. Nope, they disintegrated in my soup almost immediately. 😩😩😩 I scooped it out trying to save my broth for another batch with large eggs.

[@orion8835]

I love Maztoh ball soup. I like to have a strong amount of carrot 🥕 and yellow or orange squash. I add a pinch of nutmeg, pinch of white pepper for heat. To a large pot ( serving 10) I add a pinch of cinnamon, 5 coriander seeds and 1/8 tsp celery seed for brightness and 1/4 tsp caraway seeds for magic. I finish off with a good amount of chopped dill and a 1 tsp cracked black pepper. I add quite a bit of garlic to the ball and some to the soup base.

[@Colombo5218]

Greetings from Australia! Learned a lot from your word perfect presentation. Thank you.

[@yuka8023]

Great approach! Thank you!! Please make more videos

[@arlenepadden1243]

Perfect all year long with gorgeous light floaters!

[@richardhendersen5418]

I’m not Jewish and kinda new to the matzo ball soup game, but I’ve fallen in love with it. I know it’s not traditional, but I make a pouch with bay leaves, black pepper corns, rosemary and star anise and let that soak in the broth a bit and it comes out phenomenal. Also, I sear and caramelize the mirepoix first to really extract the flavor from it. It’s definitely got a deeper, almost eastern Asian flavor because of the anise, but I think it does it well. Also, a spritz of lemon juice along with the dill and parsley garnish. It still warms the soul.

[@טלמאור-ש7ע]

מתכון נפלא , תודה

[@leog6234]

I frick'in LOVE Matzoh Ball soup. My family is Jewish, and we make Killer Matzoh Ball soup

[@daphanemcconnell9222]

I love this. I make this for myself. I am not Jewish but my favorite food.

[@devinthomas4866]

Looked delicious, Thank you for the recipe. Making some Texas style Matzoh ball soup tonight. Made stock with fried turkey from Christmas dinner. Matzoh mix in fridge now, used some turkey fat instead of chicken schmaltz . I'll add some carrotts and onions, lil parsley too.

[@AuntyM66]

I love chicken soup with dumplings. I cannot wait to ake this.

[@partlycloudyoptimist809]

Omg. This is incredible. Just ate it for dinner.

[@crabapples1995]

Funnily enough this soup is something I just associate with comfort, I also used to find bizarre foods very comforting as well ! Thanks Andrew.

[@mohamedjoffe6038]

I made this for New Year's Eve a couple of days ago. It was a hit!

[@maksphoto78]

Just watching you at work is delightful ^_^

[@dij7878]

this looks heavenly

[@Gogogoogle477]

Hello, love the recipes. What is motzah meal ? With love from Australia

[@mattfreelie55]

Matza meal is a powder made from ground matza, which is a Jewish bread (or cracker) traditionally eaten on Passover.

[@Elisheva333]

The best soup and matzo balls thank you, I was looking for a recipe of matzo balls soft like this ones

[@serenadonnet8169]

Ca me rappel quand j'habitais New York en 1974 dans une famille juive super je vais essayer de faire votre recette🇨🇭🇨🇭 un bonjour de la SUISSE

[@benwalls8995]

My wife loves this soup!

[@ryanpoolecountry8864]

Im joining the Jewish community in my area Its such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to try and make this I've had alot of diffrent Jewish food and this looks amazing Especially during the cold day right now sounds bomb .

[@dorismccollester9522]

I am a floater person LOL my favored soup , used to make a big pot with 30 matzo balls because my kids loved it so much they would have it for breakfast before school . Thanks for a different version of making it , never did whipped egg whites just whip the whole egg and still get light floaters . I will try to make your version .

[@Comido-x5e]

Wow that soup 👌 thanks for that recipe.

[@dianelefever3961]

love your shows

[@tatianazarchikova7644]

It look delicious definitely will make it.

[@nikip9161]

I vote for the floaters.. A homey bowl of soup. 😊

[@diannahermoza2980]

I love your show keep on cooking you doing good 💐❤️

[@normamcp9181]

How much sodium can you pump into a soup B4 it kills a village ???? Don't you have a Grandma/Bubbe to show you how it's done ??? Re-think what you do 2 us. Old style rules, yeah, chicken fat, too, is safer than all thatPUMPPUMPPUMPpu...

[@gracechristianschoolcypres3189]

Great job. It was amazing.

[@Breezy-bv9te]

I may not be Jewish but I LOVE Matzoh Ball Soup! My mom got this recipe from a Jewish Grandma next door to us and whenever us kids had a cold she made us Maztoh Ball Soup.. Aaah Memories!! 😏😏

[@quinetteadaobiartsofanapos9756]

Awesome chef

[@bluemayim]

i like the sinkers myself, but i would love trying this recipe out!

[@eudoraevans3340]

Your recipe is Soooo much better than the BA one. The matzah balls are intensely flavorful!

[@kc-wr1ui]

I love being Jewish!

[@AGodTyr]

@@LordBruuh exactly

Me too

[@kerryf9796]

[@HJules-cw6fb]

Lol I am not but I love it for you

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Ok, I willingly admit to doubling the recipe for the balls! I love them! I've even been known to just cook them in straight broth if I'm lazy. Lol

[@graciebriggs6465]

I Love This Recipe... I Love All The Recipes! I'm Mad Because I Do Not See Bizzare Foods On Travel Channel Anymore.... Totally Mad!

[@lft3636]

Its amazing how Andrew Zimmern handles smoking hot foods using his bare hands.

[@noamlev1268]

Great video.Thank you.Is there anything that can be substituted for the cream of tartar

[@DavidYoel13]

It’s you!!! 😮 I remember your tv program!!!! Omg

[@bonniebiancardi1829]

I use my mothers rercipe, we like them a bit heavier but I'm going to try this and see. Looks wonderful!

[@enlightenedbygrace4U]

Mine are just cream of wheat and whole eggs! So yummy! 5Tbls. To 1 medium egg. For a pot of soup, I use three eggs. Let the bowl moisture sit 10 minutes! After they boil 2 minutes, I just stop the fire and place the lid on, let rest 10 minutes and they are quick and perfect, (floating!)

[@lisahinton9682]

?Is there a substitute for schmaltz? I have every ingredient except that one, and, I've never bought that and would not know where the heck to find it in hellish Phoenix, Arizona. (I used to live in Los Angeles and have no doubt I'd be able to find it there!)

[@MYKOjackrusselterrier]

Where did you buy the motzoball meal

[@kingkanoworldmedia4389]

I am on Kito, but I don't have a cheat day, so I will spend 3 days drowning in this, and start over. It is only twice a year. I'm not Jewish, but I celebrate the high holidays

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

My sister's recipe is amazing

[@josephgiustiniani2834]

................ All I can say is "I'm hungry for Matzah Ball Soup"...............!! I'm betting it tastes as good as it looks. Great job. I was watching this and a thought occurred to me. If I was making beef meatballs and used the baking powder, baking soda and the beaten egg whites, do you think the meatballs would be light and airy.............???? Or would it ruin the flavor.......?? I would never have thought of this until I watched you and you explained the airy floaters. I make wedding soup...... think it's worth a shot....??

[@rebeccakimble5512]

You have much talent

[@SensoryEdge]

I've always wondered why the shallow bowls. Many gallons of broth have been spilled from kitchen to table?

[@mattfreelie55]

most certainly 😂

[@mariaduenas1064]

Beautiful

[@sophia61617]

Can you give us exact ingredients please

[@latedinn]

I love this man

[@kezkezooie8595]

Yum! I love how you said you can eat 400 of them. I can relate!

[@kahliquelanative5218]

Yeah... but no measurement for the seasoning? how much of the ingredients do you put in?

[@DanielWSonntag]

I used to get mine at 2nd Ave deli ❤

[@rosecobb9606]

This looks delicious, however, I was wondering if you could make this recipe without the chicken fat?

[@SpiritWarriorTim]

Why are you using leavening? I don’t understand

[@travollan]

"I'm kind of a 2 ball person"

[@eldruidacosmico]

At 5:03 you missed an additional Ball pun.opportunity :-)

[@helenavondrakenstein4969]

Looks the a fabulous recipe..thx

[@DeniseGlass]

I make my bubbies matzo ball soup which I think was her mothers recipe. I posted it on my page if anyone wants to see another version. I also posted how to make shmultz and gribens.

[@Thorn1jm]

A hug in a bowl.

[@gypsyqueen9863]

The best soup for whatever ails ya!

[@caesarfiorini]

Air into the balls is always therapeutic

[@Tinkatink957]

Very cool

[@catylynch7909]

I made Matzo Ball soup/broth, from this recipe, two days ago. A friend decided to put off her Seder, until all attendees were fully vaccinated, with the additional 2-week margin of safety. This was my first venture into making Matzo Balls, and I was slightly terrified! It was delicious, and received glowing reviews. Thank you. I roasted the chicken, as opposed to poaching it, and made a lovely broth, adding only vegetables. I saved the meat for another use, as our hostess felt that a full soup, with meat, would make the meal too heavy.

[@merimeri4801]

Caty Lynch Your friend is sick in the head full of ignorance, fear and selfishness. Since you told the story now you have my opinion. Be careful with that "friend" of yours.

[@sassiebrat]

Lots of little old Jewish bubbes make lighter-than-air matzoh balls and do not beat the egg whites!

[@olivtrees8749]

yeah, but they usually use seltzer. Which I like to use too.

[@misterrbl5156]

I've never used beaten egg whites in my matzoh balls. I want to say that they are no longer considered kosher once you add the beaten egg whites as it would be considered a leavening agent, probably a no go on passover but fine the rest of the year. I boil mine separately in salted water then add to the soup at the end. They come out lightly and fluffy ever time.

[@robertaltomari2260]

No salt?

[@greginthesouth2621]

The look to the camera as he made the balls joke💀

[@averymcclure8067]

I love matzo ball soup

[@WilliamShreeve-hu6ts]

I miss matzo ball soup...my Jewish heritage still stands firm.

[@PE9A3p4hUfwv]

I don't care if they sink or swim I just want them to not fall apart. I have had that problem in the past so I am looking for new ideas. This looks good but it is enough to feed an army. I'll just use your matzo ball techniques.

[@1957jmhiser1]

Your soup looks yummier than PJ Bernstein's. Yum.

[@admp7179]

watched full video

[@admp7179]

inlike the recipe thank you

[@joseph_b319]

@0:54 that’s what she said.

[@williamworth2746]

Andrew I'm a big guy and I have a ferocious appetite but 400 matzah balls

[@markdawson9094]

Yum!

[@elizabethmaas871]

Use soda water to make them light and fluffy

[@andrewnolastname2337]

Was expecting not to like this because he annoys the piss out of my on bizzare foods. But this looks great

[@tonyobrannigan9784]

Not Jewish but love exploring new dishes. Made my matzo dough as instructed. Douche my hands in oil but my dough is so sticky I can’t roll it into balls. Frustrated.

[@diannan8394]

Yummy 😋 👀delicious ✌️🍀✨

[@rustyshakelford1279]

0:51 every guy could agree.

[@plaguegang8787]

Call me insane, but I roast my whole chicken, and then turn into broth

[@chantalhenderson6994]

lovely, the only difference is I make the stock the day before so I get the chicken fat fresh.

[@TheItsmegp46]

sinkers and floaters lol

[@annestichman6351]

itsmegp46 7

[@MySOBER-Life]

I wonder if it would taste good with Vietnamese Chicken 🐔 Pho 🍲 or is that sacrilegious? 😅

[@EllenT1018-r8b]

Jewish food for the Soul.

[@Deutschie]

Rutabagas !!!!!! What Jew in history ever ate rutabagas or turnips !? Turn in your membership card ! LOL. Just joking. This looks delicious . I haven't had good matzo ball soup since meine beliebste Yiddishe Bubba passed away in 1981.

[@erocoptics5642]

May not be Jewish for I sure do love good matzo ball soup
