Chicken Matzo Ball Marijuana Soup - Marijuana Recipe
Dairy-free, Nut-free
Note: this recipe is from a specialized marijuana cookbook by Cheri Sicard; "The Easy Cannabis Cookbook: 60+ Medical Marijuana Recipes for Sweet and Savory Edibles"
While the garlic powder may not be traditional, it does enhance the flavor and hide some of the “green” taste, but feel free to leave it out. This soup is comfort at the highest level. When you come down with a cold, it will be your go-to meal for cozy healing.

Ingredients
- 4 eggs

Cooking tip
A Jewish bubby (who happened to be a fabulous cook) once told me the secret to fluffy matzo balls is to never open the lid during cooking!
