For a lighter matzo ball, reduce the matzo meal by 1/2 cup. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on your preference.

Sep 5, 2024I found the matzoh balls a bit too dense. Next time, I'll try cutting back on the matzo meal as suggested in the description.

Oct 11, 2023I'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.
