KJ Poultry Kosher Ready Meals - Matza Ball Chicken Soup & Vegetables, CHOMETZ NOT for PASSOVER, MRE Meat Meals Ready to Eat, Shabbos Food, Halal, (1 Pack) Cooked Entree, Shelf Stable Microwave Dinner

It was very tasty soup. Yes, there were bones and that is a good thing. It makes a nice meal for me. Since my appetite isn't what it used to be. As with KJ poultry meals, it is on the expensive side. I ate it for my Easter morning breakfast. I am glad I bought it. Amazon is out of stock at the moment, but I would buy it again.

I wish companies would stop putting idealized product photos on food like this because IMHO it never resembles the graphics... I wanted something easy, filling, made to a higher standard, that didn't require refrigeration and was shelf stable. I will admit, the soup is not pretty but it tastes great. The broth is not clear like in the photo (clouded by matzo), there are two small matzo balls, not one, and the carrot had cooked to mush and blended with the broth. The chicken had fallen from the bone which is fine by me. But the broth tasted like "real food" and not just salty chicken flavored bouillon which abounds in most packaged meals like this. Who cares what it looks like? I'm not serving this at a state banquet. But when you put a photo on front that sets expectations to such an unrealistic degree, you are bound to have people who are disappointed. I started to give this 4 stars based on mildly deceptive advertising, but I thought, when have I tasted a packaged chicken soup that tastes this good? Honestly, never. So gave it a 5. So don't be put off by the appearance. Even my husband said--soup like mom makes... Doesn't mean it's pretty, it just tastes good.

Very salty and small portions One tiny matzoh ball To eat occasionally convenient

I placed the meal in boiling water to “cook” and honestly I almost felt guilty that it tested so good to me. I didn’t get the carrot as pictured but got 2 matzah balls which I prefer with pieces of carrot mixed in. Overall, considering the ease of cooking, the flavor and almost no cleanup was so worth to me. The fact it doesn’t require refrigeration was the icing on the cake for me.

The KJ Pantry meals are more expensive than most shelf-stable meals. They are also a much better quality and are easily heated in the microwave. I especially like them as a healthy meal when my family is sick and we are too tired to cook.

Great flavor. The chicken was good. A little skimpy on the matzo ball - just one small one. Tasted just like homemade. The tray was very hard for me to open. I will be transferring the other packages to a microwave safe bowl before heating. Watch out for the chicken bones. In general, it was really good. I will be ordering this again and probably try some of the other meals.

Had a bland taste - soup had one matzaball and a few small pieces of chicken and a bone. I would not buy again. Canned Manishevitz matza ball soup is a lot better than this. Would not recommend.

The soup was thick enough and the flavor was okay, but the matzah ball was soft and mushy and tiny. Also, the chicken was tough. I would not get this again.
