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 This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
