Ingredients

3 l	plus 250 ml chicken stock
2 large	carrots, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
2 large	celery stalks, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
1 large	onion, cut into 2.5 cm chunks
1 small	bunch parsley, fresh and coarsly chopped
300 g	matzo meal
8	eggs, separated
125 ml	vegetable oil
1 tsp	salt
½ tsp	white pepper

Instructions

Put the 3 litre stock into a large pot with the carrots, celery, onion and parsley; you should have a depth of at least 10 cm of liquid for the matzo balls to float in. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat until just simmering.

In a mixing bowl, combine the matzo meal, the remaining 250 ml stock, egg yolks, vegetable oil, salt and pepper, stirring well.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until frothy but still liquid. Fold the whites into the matzo-meal mixture until smoothly blended.

Moistening your hands with cold water, gently and quickly shape the matzo mixture into smooth balls 5 cm in diameter. As each ball is formed, gently drop it into the simmering soup. Cover partially and cook for 30 minutes.

Ladle the stock into warmed bowls, adding matzo balls and a few pieces of vegetable and parsley to each portion.
