Asian Mushroom Matzah Ball Soup

Jews love Chinese food. Fact. And everyone loves matzo ball soup. Put ’em together? What a fine looking Asian Mushroom Matzo Ball Soup!

Matzo ball soup is a traditional Passover dish made with a rich stock, tons of vegetables and hearty matzo dumplings. In culinary terms, it’s freaking awesome. And Passover is nothing without it! Well, and the Manischewitz. And horseradish.

This Asian twist uses shitake mushrooms in the dumplings and soup, with fresh cilantro and a spicy kick from jalapeños. It’s still kosher for Passover thanks to a secret ingredient that mimics the flavor of soy sauce.

A fun addition to your Passover Seder, or a light lunch on its own, this dish can easily be vegetarian. I recommend homemade stock, but store bought works in a pinch! Feel free to leave out the jalapeños for the kids, and season to taste to amp up the flavor!

    I think we are having a very non-traditional Passover here this year. The Hub’s family is away so it’s kind of just us. He’s already very interested in your Matzoh Nachos and this looks fabulous. He hates mushrooms, though, so I’m going to have to figure out a substitute for him!

      The nachos are one of my favorites!!! Ha this recipe is pretty much all mushrooms, but maybe some bok choy in there?

    I used this recipe the other night for inspiration for our dinner the other night and my husband was so surprised to see his two favorite soups made into one very delicious soup!! This will now be going into our soup night rotation of recipes!
