Instructions

  1. Warm oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and parsnip for 10 minutes until softened.

  2. Add garlic and ginger, sauté 1 minute until fragrant. Incorporate mushrooms, sauté 5 minutes until juices release, then add zucchini and sauté 5 more minutes.

  3. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Stir in dill, basil, and salt. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer 30 to 45 minutes until the broth is flavorful.

  4. Strain the broth into another pot, pressing vegetables to extract all liquid. Optionally, return some strained carrots or parsnips to the broth.

  5. To serve, bring the broth to a simmer, add prepared matzo balls, and heat through before serving.
