Description
Enjoy this Keto Low-Carb Matzo Ball Soup any time of the year. Classic Matzo Ball Soup is traditionally served on the Jewish holiday of Passover. It is also commonly enjoyed at Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah and Yom Kippur. However, I enjoy sipping this soup all year-round. I grew up enjoying hot and comforting Chicken Matzo Ball Soup. This recipe includes eggs, ground flax seed, salt, olive oil, carrot (optional), celery, onion, chicken stock or chicken bone broth and chicken.
Ingredients
Matzo Balls:
5 large eggs
3 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cups flaxseed meal
1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon pink salt (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Soup Base:
1 carrot, peeled, julienne (optional)
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 small onion, diced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 cups homemade chicken bone broth or stock*
3 cups of shredded cooked chicken (white or dark meat)

- To make the Matzo Balls, in a food processor combine all Matzo Balls ingredients and mix into a dough. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Boil water in a large pot. Take the mixture from the refrigerator and using wet hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about the size of ping pong or golf balls). Drop the balls into the boiling water. Reduce to simmer and cook the balls for about 30 minutes.
- Drain the water and set aside.
To make soup, in a large pan add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add chopped onion. Cook until translucent and slightly brown before adding carrots and celery. Cover with 6 cups of chicken stock and add chicken and dumplings. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and allow to simmer over low heat. Before serving, heat matzo balls in soup and enjoy.
