Matzah ball soup

Matzah ball soup is a traditional Jewish dish consisting of soft, fluffy dumplings made from matzah meal, eggs, fat, and seasoning, cooked in a clear chicken or vegetable broth. The matzah balls serve as the main carbohydrate component, providing a hearty texture, while the broth offers warmth and flavor. Often enjoyed during Jewish holidays like Passover, the soup is valued for its comforting qualities and cultural significance. Variations exist, with some adding vegetables or herbs for added taste, but the core remains the tender matzah balls immersed in savory broth.
