Boil up a chicken cut in pieces in a large pot 3/4 filled with water. Remove the "scum" as it cooks, and then put in onions, celery, parsnips (if you can tolerate them), lots of fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Let it cook a couple of hours.
Strain everything so that you are left with the broth. Cut the chicken and veggies in pieces in put back in soup. You can add rice or whichever noodle you can handle.
