Put the whole chicken in a large stockpot; add 6 cups water, the carrots, celery, parsnips, onion, dill, and parsley. Add more water as needed to cover everything; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the chicken starts to fall apart, about 1 hour. Take the chicken out of the soup and save it for another use.

Whisk the eggs and oil together in a medium bowl; stir in the matzo meal until well mixed. Cover the bowl; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Gently shape the matzo mixture into 1-inch balls; avoid over-rolling, which can make the matzo balls tough.

Bring 1 quart chicken stock to a boil in a separate large pot; lower the heat to a simmer. Carefully add the matzo balls to the stock; cook until tender, about 1 hour. Move the matzo balls to the pot with the soup and vegetables; season the soup with salt and black pepper.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
