I've decided that the family and I can eat the same dish, even though I am on phase 2 of my post-op diet. This is what I made tonight for the family and I had the broth from it. Everyone liked it.

½ pkg cooked vermicelli broken into matchstick pieces
1 box of matzah ball mix (usually comes with two packages to a box, make both)
3 boxes of organic chicken stock
1 Tablespoon EVOO
1 bag frozen carrots and peas
3 stalks of celery chopped up
1 Tablespoon of parsley, fresh or dried
Salt and Pepper
¾ pound cooked, chopped chicken
Follow the directions on the matzah ball box (add eggs oil, water, stir) and mix the matzah meal. Then, put it in the fridge to set up and chill while I start the soup.
Put the oil in the bottom of a big soup pot. Toss veggies and chicken into pot. Add the chicken stock and cooked vermicelli.
While the soup is coming to a boil, get out the chilled matzah meal, wash your hands in cold water and start forming balls. (Kids are a great help with this.) I like to make my balls about the size of large walnut. They "grow" or puff up when they hit the boiling soup, so make sure you don't make 'em too big.
Drop the balls into the boiling soup, reduce heat, add seasonings, and cover with a tight lid. Cook for 20 minutes......serve hot!
