Ingredients for Lemon-Scented Chicken Soup with Parsley-Sage Matzo Balls

• 1 4 1/2- to 2.3kg chicken, cut into 8 pieces, rinsed well, excess skin and fat cut away and discarded

• Boiling water

• 4.7L cold water

• 1 colher de sopa de sal kosher grosso

• 450g onions, quartered

• 450g yam (red-skinned sweet potato), peeled, cut in half crosswise

Place chicken in large bowl. Add boiling water to cover. Let stand 2 minutes; drain well. Using small knife, scrape skin to remove any surface fat. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Bring 4.7L water to boil in heavy large pot. Add chicken. Return to boil, skimming impurities . Cook until broth is clear, skimming as needed and stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add onions, yam, carrots, parsnips, and celery. Partially cover and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add dill and parsley to soup; simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 1 hour. Strain into clean pot. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and chill.) Add matzo balls to soup and rewarm over medium heat. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Add 1 lemon slice and matzo balls to each.
