1 teaspoon onion soup mix
2 teaspoons salt

Chicken “matzah” balls:
1 lb. dark ground chicken or turkey
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Combine chicken with spices and mix until incorporated. Make golf ball-size chicken balls and drop into a pot of boiling water. Cook for 30 minutes. I like to cook this in a separate pot to keep the vegetable soup pareve.
