Not all that bad but it was disappointing.

The broth itself was a little "greasy" despite the fact that I skimmed off all the fat a few times. It also wasn't as clear as what I'm used to (it had a slightly darker color). The matzoh balls were of a good texture but somewhat tasteless.

Considering it was the first time I tried it, I'm sort of proud of myself. (It yielded about 6 quarts, so I froze a few, and will have a few homecooked meals in the next two weeks ).
