The 8 Best Matzo Ball Soups in Brooklyn
Mill Basin Deli
This 38-year-old kosher delicatessen has won plenty of accolades for pastrami. But just as impressive is their flying saucer-sized bowl of matzo ball soup, sided with an overflowing basket of soft rye bread. The golden broth is subtle and clean tasting, not overly salty or greasy, with one impressive orb (the perfect happy-medium between a sinker and floater), nestled in a moat of carrots and egg noodles. The soup is made fresh every day, using an old family recipe contributed by owner Mark Schachner, but don’t bother probing him for details. “Our job is not to ask questions,” he said. “It’s to eat, enjoy, and savor the delicacy of it all.” 5823 Ave T, (718) 241-4910
