So, cooking for the Passover Seder are we?

Because you know that by the time everyone finishes reading the Haggadah and opening all the Passover gifts, they’ll be as hungry as the Israelites were in the desert.

This calls for a special case of our traditional Jewish Passover brisket, cooked easily in the oven.

Don’t worry, I’m here to help.

Because there’s a limit to how many Matzo balls one person can eat during the Seder, am-I-right?

Right… put on your favorite music in the background, and let’s get cooking.

Best Easy Matzo Balls Chicken Soup Recipe

What is a Passover Seder table worth without some traditional Jewish matzo ball chicken soup?

Matzo balls (or matzo Kleis if you’re Yiddish) is what many people consider their favorite Kosher for Passover meal.

It’s kind of “expected” during Passover:

  • Your kids probably expect it. Because what else will they eat when they can’t eat their favorite Chometz food for a week? 
  • Your guests definitely expect it, especially since they probably brought you some great Passover gifts.
And let’s face it – even you are probably looking forward to it, otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this.

So if you’re going to cook this Passover, there’s no way I’m going to let you skip Matzo balls this Pesach. 

Note: Then we’ll focus on other recipes like a traditional Passover brisket… But Matzo balls come first!

Don’t worry if you’re not sure how to make Matzo ball soup yet, soon enough you’ll be making it from scratch and you’ll discover how easy it is. 

Let’s get cooking.

The solution?

Pablo Picasso used to say: “Good artists borrow, great artists steal”.

But since stealing is not nice, let’s just “borrow” a popular Japanese dish 🙂

That dish is called Onigiri, which stands for “rice ball”.

Our Onigiri obviously won’t be “ball-shaped”, but rather Hamantaschen-shaped (triangle).
