What each ingredient does
- Butter
- Adds fat and richness, helping the crumb mixture bind and hold together.
- Cracker crumbs
- Provide the bulk and starch that form the body of each ball.
The step that matters
Drop the balls into the soup shortly before serving. Cracker-based balls absorb liquid and soften the longer they sit in hot soup, so adding them just before serving keeps their shape and texture.
