matzah balls
Soup's floating spheres
Matzah balls are dumplings made from matzah meal, eggs, and fat, traditionally served in chicken soup during Passover and year-round in Jewish cooking.
They range from dense and chewy to light and fluffy—a matter of fierce family debate.
Also spelled matzo balls or matzoh balls.
Grandma's matzah balls were legendary.
