Yummy Recipe for Grandma's Matzo Ball Soup by alexawhatsfordinner.
My maternal grandmother made the best soup I've ever had in my life. This soup was such a treat every time we got to eat it. It was her cure-all matzo ball soup! The soup is truly comfort food for the soul; it's warm, soothing, slightly sweet, savory, and beyond delicious. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed in 2016, and we weren't able to get her exact recipe from her. In the years since her passing, I've tried multiple times to try and replicate it, and this recipe is the closest I've ever gotten! I did remember her always saying her secret ingredient was rutabega, for the slightly sweet taste in the broth. In my many times trying to replicate her recipe, I discovered that making the matzo balls tiny was a lovely change that lends itself to the perfect bite EVERY bite! Every time I taste this soup, it's incredibly nostalgic for me, and brings me right back to my grandma's dining room. I hope you love it as much as I do!
