>> jewish families will gather on the table for passover seders that usually include matzo ball soup .

>> here to show us how it is done, is the soup diva of atlanta, her name is jenny levinson.

>> jenny would say she's built small and short, so someone decided to get on her knees.

>> it's the shiksa, wendy.

>> i'm a very good person.

>> it's whitney .

>> i want people to know my name.

>> what are you cooking?

>> we're going for the matzo ball soup here. first we're going to make chicken stock .

>> first whitney --

>> not wendy.

>> kathie lee , we're going to put everything in there. we'll put the whole chicken in, we have some carrots, celery, onion. that's what i do.

>> just add the liquid into that.

>> hoda, take care of her, will you?

>> i can't.

>> so how much water are you pouring in.

>> water, three inches over all the veggies.

>> this is, don't put the pitcher in, just put the water.

>> i can totally do this.

>> pepper corns ?
