===Noodles, dumplings, or soup nuts===
# Soup with soup nuts, noodles, or dumplings, requires two Brachot (Mezonot and Shehakol) in the usual case where the soup nuts enhance the soup. <Ref> Halachos of Brochos (pg 72, chapter 4, Rabbi Pinchas Bodner), Vezot HaBracha (pg 117, chapter 12)</ref> In this situation, some say to recite Mezonot before Shehakol. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 117)</ref> while others say that one should recite Shehakol before Mezonot.<ref>Halachos of Brachos (pg 72) </ref>
# If there’s a small amount of noodles, kneidlach (dumplings), or soup nuts one makes two Brachot, Shehakol on the soup and Mezonot on the noodles. <Ref> Laws of Brachos (pg 363) writes if there’s a small amount of noodles, kneidlach, or soup nuts one makes two Brachot, Shehakol on the soup and Mezonot on the noodles. Similarly, Halachos of Brochos (pg 72, chapter 4, Rabbi Pinchas Bodner) writes that soup nuts enhance the soup and so it requires two Brachot (Mezonot and Shehakol). Vezot HaBracha (pg 117, chapter 12) agrees and says that the same is true of noodles, or dumplings in soup. Vezot HaBracha specifies that this is usually the case when there is a small amount of noodles in the soup.  
# However, if there’s a significant amount of soup nuts, noodles, or dumplings, and one is interested just as much in the soup as one is interested in the soup nuts, noodles, or dumplings one should only make Mezonot and it exempts the soup. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 118, chapter 12) </ref>
* Vezot HaBracha (pg 117) writes that in order to avoid exempting the soup with the mezonot one should say the Shehakol before the Mezonot, while the Halachos of Brachos (pg 72) disagrees saying to make the mezonot first. </ref>
# If one is eating the soup nuts, noodles, or dumplings just because they’re there, one should only make Shehakol on the soup and that exempts the soup nuts, noodles, or dumplings. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 117, chapter 12) </ref>

Similarly, Laws of Brachos (pg 363) writes that if there’s a majority of noodles in the soup the Bracha is Mezonot. </ref>

===Matzah Balls===
===Matzah Balls===
# If there’s Matzah balls in soup because the Matzah balls are eaten as distinct foods two Brachot (Mezonot and Shehakol) are required. <Ref> VeTen Bracha (pg 73, chapter 4). See also Vezot HaBracha (pg 118#6, chapter 11) </ref>
# If there are Matzah balls in the soup a Mezonot is made on the Matzah balls and Shehakol on the soup because the Matzah balls are eaten as separate from the soup. <Ref> VeTen Bracha (pg 73, chapter 4). See also Vezot HaBracha (pg 118#6, chapter 11) </ref>
