Taste of Home | Matzo Ball Soup

Submitted by: Seth Harris
Portion size: One bowl
Recipe yields: 8-10 servings

Why they submitted this recipe:Sky requested a cookbook of family recipes for Christmas 2022. I had her name in our family gift exchange and thought her request was an amazing opportunity to give her the keys to cooking some of her favorite family meals. I had so much fun making the cookbook for her, her request was as amazing a present to me as the finished product was for her. When I read the "taste of home" note in the Buff family newsletter I asked her which recipe to submit and without hesitation she chose the matzo ball soup saying that no one makes it as good as I do. All I can say is that the end product is absolutely worth the effort to do it right.
