Mom's Matzo Ball Soup

Recipe from my mom

2 boxes of Manechevitz matzo ball & soup mix 
5 carrots
2 packages of chicken wingettes (I would say about 1 lb)
fresh dill & parsley (handful of each)
pasta (however much you like!)

I had such a hard time getting the exact recipe from my mom for this (she said she just throws things in and doesn't keep track) but it is such a great and easy soup!

Basically all you do is follow the directions on the box (but make sure you buy the mix that is for the soup AND the matzo balls!)  Add mix, chicken, dill, parsley and simmer x 1 hour (or whatever the box says!)  Also add in the carrots (chopped),  and continue to simmer.

Add the balls in (make them about the size of small meatballs- if you make them too big they will not cook all the way through, so here, the smaller the better!!!) about 15-20 minutes before the soup is done.  Add the pasta about 10 minutes before.  And viola!  You have awesome matzo ball soup.  :)
