matzoh balls
Passover soup spheres
Matzoh balls are dumplings made from matzoh meal, eggs, and fat, traditionally served in chicken soup during Passover and other Jewish occasions.
They range from light and fluffy to dense and chewy—a matter of family pride and debate.
Also spelled matzo balls or matzah balls.
Her grandmother's matzoh ball soup was legendary.
