Question 1

Where can I buy kosher chicken soup in Brooklyn?

Accepted Answer

Satmar Meats at 4402 13th Avenue in Boro Park cooks chicken soup fresh — available by the pound, with matzo balls (kneidlech) on the side or in the soup. Order online for pickup or local delivery, or call (718) 438-8444.

Question 2

Do you sell matzo ball soup?

Accepted Answer

Yes — chicken soup with matzo balls, plus matzo balls sold separately. The classic comfort bowl, ready to heat and serve.

Question 3

What makes your chicken soup different from canned?

Accepted Answer

It is cooked in the store’s kitchen from real chicken, bones, carrots, and dill — not from concentrate. It tastes like soup someone’s grandmother made, because it is made the same way.

Question 4

Do you have other soups besides chicken soup?

Accepted Answer

Yes — cream of chicken, mushroom barley, vegetable, butternut squash, and green squash soups, all cooked fresh. Sizes run from half-pound to two pounds.

Question 5

Is the soup good for Shabbos or holidays?

Accepted Answer

It is a Shabbos-table staple — order ahead for Friday pickup and it is ready to warm. Many customers order chicken soup and matzo balls as their standing Friday order.

Question 6

How long does fresh soup keep?

Accepted Answer

Refrigerated, 3 to 4 days. It also freezes well — many customers freeze quarts for the week. Reheat gently on the stove.

Question 7

Can I get soup delivered?

Accepted Answer

Yes — order online and choose pickup at 4402 13th Avenue or a local delivery area in the cart.

Question 8

Do you make soup for events or catering?

Accepted Answer

Yes — soups by the pound or in larger quantities for simchas and events. Call (718) 438-8444 and the catering team will plan it.

Question 9

What are your store hours?

Accepted Answer

Satmar Meats is open Sunday 10:30 AM to 10 PM, Monday through Wednesday 9 AM to 10 PM, and Thursday 8:30 AM to 10 PM, with an early close on Friday and closed on Saturday. Call (718) 438-8444 to confirm Friday and holiday hours before you come in for soup.

Question 10

Can I order soup by phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can order soup by phone at (718) 438-8444 for pickup at 4402 13th Avenue. Phone ordering is the easy way to set aside chicken soup and matzo balls for Friday, instead of hoping your size is still in the case.

Question 11

How much soup should I buy per person?

Accepted Answer

A pound of soup serves about two people as a first course, and the two-pound tub feeds a family table. Soups come in half-pound, one-pound, and two-pound sizes, so size the order to your table and add matzo balls by the piece.

Question 12

How do I reheat the soup?

Accepted Answer

Reheat soup gently on the stove and never bring it to a hard boil, which toughens the chicken and clouds the broth. Warm it low and slow until it is hot through, then serve.

Question 13

When should I order soup for Shabbos?

Accepted Answer

Order by Thursday for Friday pickup and your first course is done before Shabbos starts. Chicken soup is the Friday-night opener in Boro Park, so ordering ahead during the week beats the Friday rush at the deli counter.

Question 14

What else can I pick up at the deli counter with my soup?

Accepted Answer

The same deli counter serves pastrami and corned beef sliced fresh, cold salads, kugels, and cholent. One stop covers the soup course and the rest of the Shabbos table.

Question 15

Which soups are best for fall?

Accepted Answer

Start with butternut squash, the smooth, sweet fall bowl, and mushroom barley, the hearty soup that eats almost like a meal. Chicken soup stays the Friday-night classic, cream of chicken is the richer chicken option, and vegetable and green squash round out the case. All are cooked fresh and come in half-pound, one-pound, and two-pound sizes.

Question 16

How many matzo balls should I order per person?

Accepted Answer

Plan on one or two matzo balls per person with the soup — one for a first course before a full Shabbos meal, two when the soup is carrying more of the dinner. The matzo balls are sold in the soup or separately, so you can add extra for the purists who always want a second one.

Question 17

Can I freeze the soup, and how do I thaw it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the soups freeze well, and many customers freeze tubs for the weeks ahead. Freeze the soup in the portions you plan to serve, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat it gently on the stove until hot through. Never bring it to a hard boil, which toughens the chicken and clouds the broth. Fresh soup keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated.

Question 18

Can I keep a standing weekly soup order for Friday?

Accepted Answer

Many customers do exactly that — chicken soup and matzo balls are their standing Friday order. Order during the week for Friday pickup, online or by phone at (718) 438-8444, and the first course is set aside instead of depending on what is left in the case. Order by Thursday to beat the Friday rush at the deli counter.

Question 19

Can I add lukshen (noodles) to the chicken soup?

Accepted Answer

Yes — lukshen is sold at the same deli counter, and a handful turns a bowl of chicken soup into the classic soup-and-noodles first course. Add the lukshen when you serve, or cook it separately and spoon soup over it, so the noodles stay firm instead of soaking up the broth in the pot.

Question 20

Is chicken soup a good order when someone at home is feeling unwell?

Accepted Answer

It is the classic comfort order for exactly those weeks: real chicken soup, cooked in the store's kitchen from chicken, bones, carrots, celery, and dill, ready to heat and serve with no cooking in a busy house. Order it by the pound with matzo balls, online for pickup or local delivery, or by phone at (718) 438-8444.

Question 21

Can I buy the chicken soup without matzo balls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The soup and the kneidlech are ordered as their own items, so you can take the soup plain, add matzo balls by the count your table needs, or add lukshen instead. Say how you want it when you order, online or by phone at (718) 438-8444.

Question 22

Which soup freezes best for a busy week?

Accepted Answer

Chicken soup is the classic freezer tub: it thaws in the refrigerator and reheats gently without losing its flavor. Mushroom barley also freezes well. Freeze the soup in the portions your household eats at one sitting, so a single supper thaws at a time.

Question 23

How much soup should I order for a family Shabbos?

Accepted Answer

Plan a generous bowl per person for Friday night, plus extra if the soup is also standing in for a weeknight supper. The counter can size it with you: tell them the headcount when you order by phone, and remember the matzo balls are counted separately, a few per person.

Question 24

Do you carry a soup with no chicken in it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside the chicken soup, the deli carries vegetable soup and mushroom barley among its other soups, for a bowl with no chicken in it. The fall selections change with the season, so ask the counter what is in the case that week.

Question 25

Can I order soup together with the rest of my Shabbos food?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Soup comes from the same deli kitchen as the rest of the prepared food, so it goes into one order with the takeout, the kugels, and the deli items, for one Friday pickup at the store or one local delivery before Shabbos.

Question 26

When is the soup cooked, and how fresh is it on Friday?

Accepted Answer

The soup is cooked fresh in the store's own deli kitchen, not poured from a can or a mix. For Friday, ordering during the week is the reliable route, so your soup is confirmed and packed with the rest of the Shabbos order before the rush.
