Matzo Ball Soup

Recipe developer Tori Avey is in the kitchen making a traditional matzo ball soup. She also points out that you can use grapeseed oil as a replacement for schmaltz (another word for chicken fat) if you want. An added tip is to cook the matzo balls separately from the soup to control the doneness. When you chill the matzo after cooking it, you make it easier to scoop.
