How to Transport a Large Pot of Matzoh Ball Soup

My friend Ann has figured it out. 

She stopped by late afternoon on her way to a second Seder for Passsover with family who live in my neighborhood. 

She called from her cell on her way over to see if I was home as she wanted to drop off something she knew I’d like – a cool tool for me- a sock ruler– but that’s another post. 

Check out her method for transporting a large pot of soup. Matzoh ball soup. I think the wedging the wine bottle must help stabilize the pot. 

She said, “Go get a bowl.  I’ll give you some.”

I went into the house as she added “And a ladle!”

And then I said, “wait, Let me get my camera” as she prepared to ladle a bowl of her homemade matzoh ball soup out of the passenger side of her car. 

The Haggadah is the Hebrew text for the Passsover Seder. 

I looked up the spelling of Matzamatzo… matzoh …..A word with many spellings

And I wish I had asked her preference 


It was delicious.  

I asked her if she’d teach me how to make it. 

She said the broth is involved.  I’m looking forward to learning how to make the matzoh dumplings in homemade chicken broth.
