Matzo ball soup is a traditional Jewish dish often served during Passover and other festive occasions. The soup features matzo balls, which are dumplings made from ground matzo, eggs, water, and fat. These dumplings are typically light and fluffy, floating in a flavorful broth, usually made from chicken or vegetable stock. The soup is often garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley, and may include vegetables like carrots and celery. It is cherished for its comforting qualities and is a staple in many Jewish households, symbolizing warmth and family gatherings.
