MATZO BALL SOUP…have a (matzo) ball!

Wherever there is despair, matzo ball soup should be there! This is my go-to feel-better recipe for everything. Got a cold? Matzo ball soup. Feeling sad? Matzo ball soup. Just need a little comfort food? Matzo ball soup!

I’ve tried this classic “Jewish penicillin” at diners, delis, and restaurants all over, but none of them ever seem to strike the right balance. I want a soup that has a richly flavored broth, tender chicken and noodles, savory veggies, ultra fluffy matzo balls, and bright fresh herbs. This is the one that checks all the boxes for me.

But, what I really like best about this recipe, is that it makes a huge batch of soup that can be shared. Everything tastes better and is more fun to make when you know it’s going to brighten someone’s day.
