Chicken Soup with Walnut Balls Recipe

  • 1½ cups finely ground walnuts
  • ¼ cup minced onions
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup matzo meal
  • 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 large egg white, whisked until frothy
  • 7 cups chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup chopped mixed dill, cilantro and parsley
  1. In a large bowl, combine all the walnut ball ingredients.
  2. Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Have a bowl of cold water by you. Dipping your hands in the water, shape the walnut mixture into 2-inch balls. Drop them into the boiling water, and cook until cooked through, 10 minutes. Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
  3. Heat the chicken stock. Ladle into soup bowls, add three walnut balls to each bowl and add garnish with fresh herbs.
