lightbulb_outline Tips
- For lighter matzo balls, beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and fold them into the matzo mixture.
- If you prefer a clearer broth, strain it before adding the matzo balls and vegetables.
- Feel free to add cooked chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken to make it heartier.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
