Fluffy Matzo Ball Soup

This Fluffy Matzo Ball soup recipe includes airy matzo balls that are flavoured with schmaltz, and cooked in a bath of homemade yoich until they more than double in size and are ready to serve. My Fluffy Matzo Ball Soup is extremely easy to prepare, and I promise that once you try it you’ll never go back.
