Masa Ball Soup Recipe
Recipe By Serious Eats
A lot of people will tell you that punning is one of the lowest forms of humor. No matterthis soup, born of a silly pun, is tasty whether you like that kind of wordplay or not. Based on a classic matzo-ball soup recipe, this one uses masa harina for tamales in place of matzo meal for light and moist poached dumplings that have more than a little in common with tamales themselves. We serve them in chicken broth spiked with mexican flavors, like jalapeo, lime juice, and cilantro.
