Mom’s Matzoh Ball Soup
This is it. The real deal. My mom’s matzoh ball soup and this is as good as it gets! Hands down! The best! I was so happy when I tried to replicate it and it tasted exactly like hers! Now you can too! This is what we call Jewish Penicillin as it cures all!
Some days I like to add some noodles, too! Just boil them up and toss them right in!
