Passover calls for get-togethers with family and friends and of course, food. You’re worried that the holiday could have harmful effects on your diet – but it doesn’t have to be that way! In fact, Passover is a great opportunity to experiment in the kitchen, finding new easy, healthy and tasty recipes.
This hearty and filling Matzo Ball Soup recipe was provided by our friends at Medifast.

- 4 6 ounce chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 large onion
- 2 large carrots
- 1 whole head celery no leaves
- 1 Tbsp. ketchup
- 2 boxes Manischewitz low sodium Matzo Ball & Soup mix
- Prepare matzo balls according to package directions
- Chop all vegetables medium-chunky (with a food processor, for ease)
- Add all ingredients, including Soup Mix packet, but excluding matzo ball mix, to large pot. Bring to a slow boil and cook til breasts are cooked through (about 20 minutes). remove chicken.
