Chicken Meatball Soup

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the poultry seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.

3. Add the chicken broth and water to the pot, and bring to a rolling boil.

4. Use a small spoon* to scoop ½-inch bits of the chicken mixture directly into the boiling broth. The meatballs do not have to be rolled or round.

5. Once all the meatballs are added, add the pasta*. Let the soup simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the meatballs are cooked through.

6. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
