Oma's Fabulous Matzo Ball Soup

so where does it claim to be kosher?

This looks to be a perfectly good recipe for matzo ball soup, and not everyone keeps a kosher diet. AND the recipe doesnt claim to be kosher .
Not everyone who is jewish keeps kosher, and not everyone who enjoys matzo ball soup is jewish.

Sorry koshergirlie but there is no such thing as "pareve butter" as all butter is by definition a dairy product. You could use pareve margarine,
some kind of vegetable oil to make it. Also "pareve chicken stock" is also impossible unless its some kind of vegetable stock made to taste like chicken.

This IS a correct recipe!

Not everyone keeps Kosher but if they do, this IS a correct recipe provided you use PARVE butter & PARVE chicken stock in powder form (both available at the majority of regular grocery stores or at the Kosher market). I keep Kosher; if you keep Kosher, you just need to know how to adjust the recipe to meet your Kosher needs (meat/dairy/parve). Most people that keep Kosher are aware that the recipe would need to be adjusted.

this isn't a correct recipe

This recipe calls for butter in the matzoh balls, which is dairy. It then calls for the balls to be cooked with chicken stock, which is meat. This is not a kosher recipe, since Jews cannot mix dairy and meat, and should be changed. Thank you.

Sounds good and simple, I might try it

Jon J, you're pulling semantics. Butter/margarine the terms are interchangeable. There is parve chicken broth. Shop markets like Whole foods, Trader Joe's etc.

Instead of butter,add a bit of Shmaltz.We dont keep kosher and this is how my family makes their matzo balls.We do not put the chicken in the soup,we strain the broth clear and eat it with the carrots and the Matzo balls.
