Chicken and Matzo Ball Soup Recipe
With the cooler temps comes beautiful fall colors on the trees, chilly nights spent beside a fire snuggled up to the one you love and fantastic looking, fashionable boots and sweaters. All the comfortable things in life, right? But, let's face it.
It also brings with it cold and flu season. Total buzzkill, I know. You'd think living in the Sunshine State of Miami we'd be immune to the typical 'cold weather yucks' the rest of the country gets. Oh, not so my friends. We get our fair share of germ filled bugs.
But luckily, I've got a few secret weapons stashed up to fight the sniffling, sneezing, and sore achy throats. The first is an old Chicken and Matzo Ball Soup recipe!
They don't call it Penicillin for nothing! It really is a cure for all that ails you. Colds, flu, even a broken heart!
