Review: Matzo Ball Soup Kit – The Matzo Project

If you’ve ever wanted to make matzo ball soup at home but didn’t feel like starting from scratch, The Matzo Project has your back. Their Matzo Ball Soup Kit is easy, fun to make, and turns out a comforting bowl of soup that works just as well for a cozy solo lunch as it does for a casual dinner with friends.

At its core, matzo ball soup is a staple of Jewish cuisine, especially during Passover, but its appeal extends far beyond the holiday table. The Matzo Project keeps things traditional where it matters, while still making the whole process more accessible. The kit comes with a flavorful soup mix and seasoned matzo crumbs, so all you need to add are eggs, water, and a bit of vegetable oil.

How to prepare the Matzo Ball Soup

Beat 2 eggs in a bowl with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Dump the matzo crumbs into the egg mixture. Mix until combined (not too much or you’ll ruin it). Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Throw the soup mix into a big ol’ pot with 12 cups of water. Bring the whole thing to a boil. Toss in some fresh vegetables (optional).

Wet your hands. Gently form 8-12 walnut sized matzo balls. Plop them into the boiling broth. Cover tightly, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

What I Loved

What really stood out was how simple it was to throw together. Just mix the matzo crumbs with eggs and oil, pop it in the fridge for a bit to set. Meanwhile, you boil the soup mix with water, and if you’re feeling fancy, toss in some chopped carrots, celery, onion, or even shredded chicken. Adding the matzo balls to the soup was definitely the highlight. Watching the matzo balls puff up and float to the surface is oddly satisfying. They come out fluffy, tender, and surprisingly light.

The flavor is warm and herby, with just enough seasoning to keep it interesting, but with plenty of room to add your own touch. It’s vegetarian, all-natural, and free of MSG, which makes it a nice option if you’re cooking for a crowd with different dietary preferences.

The full kit yields 8–10 matzo balls and a generous pot of broth, so it’s enough to serve 4–5 people. It’s the kind of meal that feels like a hug in a bowl, and you can dress it up or down depending on your mood or what’s in your fridge.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a “holiday” soup—it’s a smart pantry staple for those days when you want something warm, filling, and nostalgic without too much fuss. The Matzo Project has managed to take a beloved tradition and give it a playful, practical spin. If you’ve never made matzo ball soup before, this is a great place to start. If you already love it, this kit makes it easier than ever to bring it to the table—no special occasion required.

About The Matzo Project

The Matzo Project is a Brooklyn-based small business that set out to bring new life to a traditional food staple. Co-founders and longtime friends Ashley Albert and Kevin Rodriguez were inspired to reimagine matzo, a culturally significant but often overlooked flatbread, with better flavor, better texture, and more versatility.

What began as an idea to improve on a familiar food has grown into a thoughtfully developed product line that includes matzo flats, chips, bites, seasoned crumbs, and a popular matzo ball soup kit. Everything is made with simple, clean ingredients, and many of the products are Kosher and vegetarian.

With a focus on quality and accessibility, The Matzo Project offers a modern take on matzo that appeals to both those with cultural ties to the food and those discovering it for the first time. Their products are made for year-round enjoyment and are now found not just during Passover, but also in deli sections and snack aisles across the country.
