The soup is prepared with herbs like [[parsley]] and fresh [[dill]] or [[thyme]], and is often served with ''[[knaidlach]]'' (matzah balls),<ref>{{cite web|last=Avey|first=Tori|url=https://toriavey.com/perfect-chicken-soup/|title=Matzo Ball Soup - Passover Chicken Soup Recipe|date=2023|work=toriavey.com|access-date=2023-10-13}}</ref> ''[[kreplach]]'' (dumplings), lokshen (flat egg noodles), or ''[[mandlen]] ([[Shkedei Marak]] in Israel)'' (soup "almonds").
