Fortunately, its a simple recipe (easy enough to make whenImsick!)

First, I prepare the matzo ball mix according to the package directions.
Usually, that means mixing it with a couple of eggs and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil.
While that hangs out in the fridge, I start on the broth.
It gives me an amped-up, extra-chickeny broth that I can actually taste even when Im congested.
To that, I add a two-inch knob of peeled, fresh ginger.
The aromatic ginger steeps in the broth as it heats up.
It feels like a special treat I can make to help them feel a little better.
Use store-bought, or skip it altogether and go with the soup mix thats in the box.
Fresh ginger (as opposed to dried) is important for the flavor.
If you keep a few knobs of peeled ginger in the freezer, youll always have some on hand.
Consider this a nudge to start doing that if you dont already.
Likewise, fresh lemon is important, so dont cut corners there.
you could use whatever matzo ball soup mix or recipe you prefer.
If yours has carrots and celery, invite them to the party!
Chopped dill or scallions would be a welcome addition or substitution for parsley.
for a couple of minutes.
