Matzoh Ball Soup

Eating in a New York diner? Here’s a little scoop: You don’t have to be Jewish To have matzoh balls in soup. For in this local area (New Jersey is included), When soup is on the menu, Matzoh ball won’t be excluded. The chicken broth which forms the base Should have sufficient salt, Although complaints most often place The matzoh balls at fault. In restaurants, they’re often huge. Most times, just one’s afloat; But it should have a fluffiness To fill you, not to bloat. Though matzoh balls are served in soup Each day throughout the year, The only time I eat them’s when The holiday* is here. But like that Levy’s rye ad said, You needn’t be a Jew To eat some soup with matzoh balls – Go on, it’s good for you! So if you’ve never had a taste, It’s time to wet your whistle. I guarantee you’ll love it, Likely more than just a bissel**! *Passover **Yiddish for a little bit
