Place matzo mixture into the refrigerator and allow it to sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
In a large stockpot over medium heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Combine onions, carrots, parsnips and celery in the pot. Allow this to cook until veggies are tender.
Pour in stock and water. Add in the chicken and bay leaf. Cover and allow to simmer slowly for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bring the broth to a boil.
