This soup encompasses the colors of fall in Virginia and also tastes great! I bought a buttercup squash and wasn’t too sure what to do with it, so I looked up a few recipes and pieces together different ideas.
Matzo ball soup is great comfort food — probably better eaten during cold winter days. It’s something new and a great alternative to chicken soup. Instead of noodles, you use balls made out of matzo or matza — which is essentially a type of cracker.
The Basics
This is a ginger flavored chicken soup. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods.
The Basics
- Chicken (on bone and with skin) – Cut up into serving sized pieces
- Oil
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
- Fresh ginger, about 2 inches thick – Peel and cut into strips
