In my family, we use Manischewitz packets for as an *addition* to our
chicken or matzoh ball soup. It's the way my grandmother has been
doing it for 30 years and it's the way I make it now. We still use
fresh chicken, we still use fresh vegetables and herbs, but the soup
packets add what we find to be the perfect amount of seasoning.
