Ingredients

  • 2 lb (1 kg) bone-in chicken (thighs, legs or breasts), skin removed
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium white onion, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper (or more to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 cup matzo ball mix
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs

Steps

  •  
    1
    Add first 10 ingredients (chicken through salt) to a slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook covered on low heat for 8 hours.

    2
    Once cooked, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and discard the bones. The chicken should just fall apart, but if there are large pieces, use a fork to shred. Then return chicken to the soup.

    Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, stir together the matzo ball mix, vegetable oil and eggs until combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill. Then remove and shape the mix into 1-inch balls.

    Season the soup one final time with additional salt and pepper if needed. Then serve!
