1

To make the matzo balls: In a large bowl, stir together matzo meal, eggs, oil, stock, salt and pepper until just combined. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove matzo ball mix from refrigerator and, using wet hands, roll into 12 (1-inch) balls.
3

Carefully drop balls into boiling water, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Let matzo balls cook 30 minutes until tender.
4

While the matzo balls are simmering, make the soup: Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and carrots and saute until slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
5

Add vegetable stock, salt, pepper and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
6

Add scallions and parsley and cook another 5 minutes.
7

Spoon cooked matzo balls into bowls and top with soup. Top with a few sprigs of dill and serve.
