How much would you put-
Carrots
Zucchini
Chicken bottoms/ bones
Root celery
Onion/garlic
Parsnip
Salt/pepper??

I’ve never cooked in such a big pot and don’t know how to multiply it!

If you usually make your soup in an 8 quart pot, just multiply your chicken & veggies by 3.

Not sure about chicken/ veggies but definitely do not multiply the s and p proportionally to size increase. I would say season cautiously and taste later on.

When I make soup in my 24 qt pot, I fill it half way or more with chicken (bones, parts, whatever I have), add a few onions, salt and pepper. Fill the pot to the top, bring to a boil and then simmer overnight. The next day I strain out the chicken and onions (they are usually in nets, so its fairly easy to remove). This gives me a nice base to work with. It's a very rich broth to add veggies to.

If I don't need all that soup, I freeze some. When I want fresh soup, I defrost the "boiled chicken water" and add fresh veggies. If I need the whole pot, I just add fresh veggies then-until it looks like enough.
