COZY MATZO BALL SOUP
This soup was my childhood. I mean I grew up having it almost every Jewish holiday dinner, made best by my grandmother. I wish I could say this is as good as hers, but I swear it almost is… all her lessons in the kitchen have come a long way. You can all thank me for this one later, enjoy!
