Recipe View Place chicken, breast-side down, into a large pot; fill with enough cold water to reach about 3 inches from top of the pot. Add carrots, celery, parsnip, onion, dill, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook, partially covered for 2 hours. Do not let the soup boil. Skim any fat from the top of the soup. Add garlic, partially cover, and simmer for another 2 hours. (Total time: 4 hours)
Recipe View In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine matzo meal, eggs, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 cup of broth from the soup. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes. (Time: 20 minutes)
Recipe View Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil. Roll matzo mixture into about 16 balls. Wet your hands to keep the dough from sticking to them. Drop matzoh balls into boiling water, cover, and cook for about 35 minutes. (Time: 35 minutes)
Recipe View Meanwhile, remove chicken from soup; remove the bones and skin and cut or shred into pieces. Strain broth, reserving vegetables. Return broth to the pot; add chicken and vegetables (or reserve for another use). Remove matzo balls from boiling water using a slotted spoon; add to soup.

Sep 5, 2024I found the matzoh balls a bit too dense. Next time, I'll try cutting back on the matzo meal as suggested in the description.

Oct 11, 2023I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. The broth is so flavorful, and the matzoh balls are perfect. I sometimes add a little ginger to the soup for an extra boost when I'm feeling under the weather.
