                  Yum.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  First, you'll have to buy a chicken and pretend it wears glasses.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Get some leeks, carrots, dill, turnip, celery and parsnip. Wash ‘em.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Throw it all into a pot. Make it look pretty.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Cover everything with water, then bring to a rapid boil. Let simmer. For hours. Days.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Make matzoh ball mixture. I went with eggs, duck fat, cayenne, seltzer, grated onion, cold water, salt, pepper, and matzoh meal.
CHILL FOR ONE HOUR.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Make balls. Drop suckers into boiling water.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Pull apart chicken a day later. Snack on some latkes while you wait around.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Have Dad blow on hot ball.
 
              
              
                
                  
                  Impress Grandma with soup.
