  • Jeanette Ritchie

    I found the matzoh balls a bit too dense. Next time, I'll try cutting back on the matzo meal as suggested in the description.

  • Ignacio Rohan

    This is now my go-to chicken soup recipe. The flavor is incredible, and it's so comforting.

  • Tate Prohaska

    Excellent recipe! Easy to follow and the results were delicious. I especially appreciated the tip about wetting my hands when rolling the matzoh balls.

  • Joanie Harber

    I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. The broth is so flavorful, and the matzoh balls are perfect. I sometimes add a little ginger to the soup for an extra boost when I'm feeling under the weather.

  • Destini Dickistoltenberg

    This soup is a lifesaver! I made it when I had a terrible cold, and it really helped me feel better. The matzoh balls were so fluffy!

  • Mariela Will

    I added a bay leaf to the soup while it was simmering, and it gave it a lovely depth of flavor.

  • Taylor Steuberschuppe

    My grandmother used to make a similar soup, and this recipe brought back so many memories. Thank you for sharing!
