April 6, 2015 Off By Lisa

Hello, friends!

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and/or Happy Spring to all of you!

While Zilla and I are celebrating Easter Week, this week is also Passover for the Fab Hub. I’m working on a traditional Passover favorite – matzah ball soup.

I’ve shared this on the blog before, so I’m going to direct you to that post.  As my Mother-in-Law often says, there are as many ways to make this soup as there are cooks who make it. That’s true of many recipes. This is the way I usually do it.

Here you go:

Soup of the Week – Matzah Ball Soup (Original)

20140421_202508[1]There is nothing quite like a good bowl of matzah ball soup during Passover week. And with five days of rain in the forecast for the remainder of this week, today’s as good a day as any to put up a pot of soup.

One of the challenges of good matzah balls soup is, well, good balls. Check out this list of 10 Tips for the Best Matzah Ball Soup Ever from Amy Kritzer of What Jew Wanna Eat. Amy’s blog is one of the first I ever read and I have been in love ever since. Amy is smart and funny and her recipes are great modern updates for traditional Jewish foods. You’ll love Amy’s list of soup tips and there’s a bonus! In her post you’ll find a link to her 10 Tips for Matzah Ball Success over at The Jewish Week.

We may give a new recipe a try, too – again, one of Amy’s recipes. Check out Power Greens Matzo Ball Soup. This looks awesome. We already know we love green soup, so this looks like a perfect match.
