For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. It elevates the soup to a new level. Don't overcrowd the pot when simmering the matzo balls; cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they cook evenly. Fresh herbs are key to a vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh dill, consider other fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
0 mins
Gather all your ingredients, ensuring they are fresh and ready to use.
02
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
To create the rich chicken soup base: Place the whole chicken in a large pot and completely cover it with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low. Gently simmer the chicken until the meat becomes exceptionally tender and easily falls off the bones (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes).
03
Step
10 mins
Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board to cool slightly (about 10 minutes). Once cooled, shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones.

Step

In a separate large soup pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the shredded chicken, diced carrots, celery, turnip, parsnips, onion, leek, and fresh dill. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are tender and infused with the broth's flavor (about 20 minutes). Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
05
Step
0 mins
While the vegetables simmer, prepare the matzo balls: In a mixing bowl, combine the matzo ball mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined. To prevent sticking, wet your hands with cold water and form the mixture into approximately 1-inch balls.
06
Step
20 mins
Return the broth to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the matzo balls into the simmering broth. Reduce the heat once again and simmer until the matzo balls have expanded in size and are fully cooked through (about 20 minutes).
