Chicken Meatball Soup Recipe

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by dicing the potato and slicing the carrot. Finely chop the onion, and set aside a small portion to mix into the ground chicken for the meatballs. For the meatballs, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, breadcrumbs or another binding agent, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Form and Cook Meatballs

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut. In a pan, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the Soup

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots, cooking until tender. Once the vegetables are tender, return the cooked meatballs to the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.

Serve

Serve the Chicken Meatball Soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy as a complete meal on its own, or pair it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
