Chicken Meatball Soup

 A hearty and comforting soup filled with juicy chicken meatballs, vegetables, and aromatic spices.

Description

This recipe is a twist on the classic meatball soup, using chicken instead of beef or pork. The meatballs are made with ground chicken, breadcrumbs, and spices, and then simmered in a flavorful broth with vegetables and noodles. This soup is perfect for a cold day or a comforting meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large potato, peeled and chopped
  • 8 ounces noodles (such as egg noodles or rice noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Methods

Step 1: Make the Meatballs

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined.
  3. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil and gently roll them around to coat evenly.
  5. Bake the meatballs in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked.

Step 2: Make the Soup

  1. In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped carrot, celery, and potato to the pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the cooked meatballs to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions and drain.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
