Matzo ball soup is a hearty, uncomplicated soup that’s rich in flavor and tradition and once you start cooking, takes almost no time to put together.

Traditionally, matzo ball soup is eaten during the week of Passover as during that time, eating chametz (any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt) is forbidden but matzo, an unleavened flatbread is permitted, is OK.

This healthy, flavorful soup is perfect for any time of the year, so make sure you add it to your soup repertoire!
