Ingredients:

Serving

10 cups water
12 garlic cloves, peeled
3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
3 small turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
2 medium onions, cut into wedges
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium leek (white portion only), sliced
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tbsp snipped fresh dill
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp ground turmeric
matzo balls:
3 eggs, separated
3 tbsp water or chicken broth
3 tbsp rendered chicken fat
1-1/2 tsp salt, divided
3/4 cup matzo meal
8 cups water

Directions:

For broth, in a stockpot, combine the first 12 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg yolks on high speed for 2 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored. Add the water, chicken fat and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In another bowl, beat egg whites on high until stiff peaks form; fold into yolk mixture. Fold in matzo meal. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until thickened.
In another stockpot, bring water to a boil; add remaining salt. Drop eight rounded tablespoonfuls of matzo ball dough into boiling water. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a matzo ball comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering).
Strain broth, discarding vegetables and seasonings. Carefully remove matzo balls from water with a slotted spoon; place one matzo ball in each soup bowl. Add broth. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).
