"In my carefree young adult yrs (many decades ago), an older Jewish couple named Hazel & Meyer Greenberg took a shine to me & started inviting me to their weekly family dinners on Thurs nites. The meals were the highlight of my wk & always started w/Matzo Ball Soup, also known as the "Jewish penicillin". They believed it to be true, but I didn't care. I just loved the stuff! When the brisket was put on the table, I was in heaven again. Hazel had a "kitchen helper" who cooked & served the meals & she would put the soup & brisket leftovers in a take-home container for me. This Catholic girl "worshiped" that Jewish lady! The Carnegie Deli is a NYC midtown Manhattan institution that has been open for 75 yrs & serves up a whopping 1,500 matzo balls daily! This recipe is truly a part of my life history. (Times were not given, were estimated by me & overlap quite a bit as you are making the matzo balls while the consomme is simmering) ENJOY!"
