About Matzoh ball soup

Matzoh Ball Soup is a traditional dish rooted in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, often enjoyed during holidays like Passover. The soup typically consists of a savory broth, usually chicken-based, and soft, dumpling-like matzoh balls made from matzoh meal, eggs, water, and fat, such as schmaltz or oil. The broth is often enriched with carrots, celery, onion, and sometimes fresh herbs like dill for added nutrition and flavor. Known for its comforting and restorative qualities, the soup is light yet nourishing. It provides hydration and contains vitamins and minerals from the vegetables and protein from the chicken. However, the matzoh balls can be calorie-dense due to their fat content, depending on the recipe. While matzoh ball soup is not typically high in fiber, it remains a wholesome choice for those seeking warmth and a connection to cultural tradition.
