Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup of chicken broth

- 8 cups of chicken broth

Start by making the matzo balls. In a bowl, beat the eggs with 1/4 cup of chicken broth and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Add the matzo meal, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large pot, heat 8 cups of chicken broth until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and parsley. Let the vegetables simmer for about 10 minutes.
While the vegetables are simmering, remove the matzo ball mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into small balls. Drop the matzo balls into the soup and let them cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and fluffy.
Your delicious matzo ball soup is now ready to serve. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!
