Since I married into a Jewish family, I have tried many Matzo Ball Soup recipes searching for our family’s favorite. This is the one for us! It’s a modified version of Hell Yeah It’s Vegan’s Matzo Balls coupled with some of the fresh ingredients that we prefer.
I wanted to also make a note that I have tried a lot of different vegetable broths with this recipe and have come to the conclusion that Better Than Bouillon’s No-Chicken flavor is by far my favorite. This is not a sponsored recipe, I just really love it!
From our seder dinner to yours, Chag Pesach Sameach!
As new and exotic as this soup might sound for some, it uses very simple and everyday ingredients (except for the matzo flour) and it can be very budget-friendly. Mostly veggies and broth, the soup is fairly easy to prepare even though the matzo balls might require a little bit more practice.
It is extra important to remember that in order to ensure a good consistency (so they hold up!), the dough requires at least one hour of freezing, so make sure you prep ahead of time!
