  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 pouches (1 box) Lipton Kosher Matzo Ball Mix

For the Meatball Mix:

  • 1/2 lb ground beef

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley

  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 tsp dried sage

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Creamy Tomato Soup:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 medium Spanish onions, diced

  • 2 medium red onions, diced

  • 2-3 garlic cloves, sliced

  • 2 cans (28 oz each) whole peeled tomatoes (with juice)

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp dried parsley

  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 tsp ground sage

Instructions

  1. Matzo Balls: In a bowl, whisk eggs and olive oil. Stir in matzo ball mix and chill for 10–20 minutes.

  2. Mix meatball ingredients and form into small 1/2-inch balls.

  3. Take a 3/4-inch scoop of chilled matzo mixture, flatten, and place a meatball inside. Seal and roll into a smooth ball.

  4. Bring salted water to a boil. Boil matzo balls in batches (6–8 at a time) for 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Refresh water between batches if needed. Set aside.

  5. Tomato Soup: Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté onions until soft (5–10 minutes).

  6. Add garlic, tomatoes with juice, broth, and spices. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30–40 minutes.

  7. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  8. Serve hot soup with 2–3 stuffed matzo balls per bowl. Garnish with herbs if desired.

 

Notes

You can make the matzo balls and soup ahead of time and store separately. For a dairy-free creamy effect, blend in a handful of cooked potatoes with the soup.
