How to Make Chicken Meatball Soup With Pasta
- **Prepare the Meatballs:** In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken breast, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Shape the Meatballs:** Gently roll the mixture into 48 meatballs, each about 1 inch in diameter. This ensures even cooking!
- **Bake the Meatballs:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- **Bake:** Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
- **Start the Soup:** While the meatballs bake, bring 8 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil in a large Dutch oven or pot.
- **Add Vegetables:** Add 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cups of your favorite frozen mixed vegetables.
- **Simmer Vegetables:** Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- **Cook the Pasta:** Add 1 cup of your favorite pasta (small shapes like ditalini or elbow macaroni work well). Cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
- **Add Meatballs:** Gently stir in the baked meatballs.
- **Heat Through:** Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
- **Serve:** Ladle the soup into 8 bowls. Place 6 meatballs in each bowl. Sprinkle evenly with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
