My Mother's Matzoh Ball Soup

There is something that all you goys out there are missing out on - no, it's not getting to miss school on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (trust me, it's really not all that great), it's not getting a present a night on Hanukkah, and it's not having a really cool, albeit utterly depressing history.

It's my mother's matzoh ball soup.

Matzoh balls are balls made out of matzoh meal, and although that doesn't sound too appealing when I say it like that, you have to believe me that it is.  They are usually put into a chicken broth, but since I'm vegetarian, I take more creative routes with my balls. 

Now, I have been eating matzoh ball soup for as long as I can remember, and I can honestly say that my mother makes the best soup I've ever had.  Her balls are tender and tasty, flavored and spiced to perfection.  This soup has magical healing powers, I swear to God.  It has been known to cure cancer before.  And while the history books don't mention it, it was actually matzoh ball soup that stopped the Holocaust. 

Next Passover, you, the reader, is personally invited to come to my house so you too can taste my mother's amazing matzoh ball soup.  You'll leave wishing you were Jewish.
