Stir in the water and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until the moisture has been absorbed.<\/li>\n<li>For soup: In a large pot, drizzle oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery, and saute until they start to sizzle, then reduce to medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chicken and raise the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes to lightly brown in spots.<\/li>\n<li>Add the chicken stock, pepper and dill and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer, then cover the pot.<\/li>\n<li>Scoop rounded tablespoons of matzo mixture, roll each scoop into a ball and drop into the simmering soup. When all the matzo balls are in the soup, cover and adjust the heat to bring the soup back to a very gentle simmer.
