This soup bursts with flavor. Now that I've moved back to "The Great Northwest", it has become a favorite on rainy, gray days. Serve with crusty bread and a salad of spinach and tomatoes topped with toasted pine nuts.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

9 cups low sodium chicken broth
6 garlic cloves, crushed and divided
1/2 cup barley
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups diced carrots
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb ground chicken thighs or 1 lb ground turkey
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated romano cheese
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Mix seasonings and dried herbs in a small bowl.
  • Rinse barley and drain it.
  • Combine barley in a large soup pot with the 9 cups of chicken broth, about HALF the herb mixture, and 3 of the cloves of crushed garlic.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the meatball ingredients and form into balls the size of walnuts in the shell (you will get 20 or more).
  • When the barley/broth mixture has simmered for 30 minutes, add in the remaining 3 crushed garlic cloves, the rest of the seasonings and dried herb mixture, the meatballs, and the carrots and onion.
  • Bring soup back to a low simmer, and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 or 15 minutes so meatballs won't stick to the bottom or break apart.
  • Serve soup topped with chopped parsley and a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese.

Make and share this Famous Homemade Chicken Soup With Meatballs - Italian Style recipe from Food.com.

Provided by The Miserable Gourm

Time 4h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken
1 large onion
1 lb carrot, cleaned
4 celery ribs, cleaned
2 knorr's chicken bouillon cubes
1 knorr's vegetable bouillon cube
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
8 -12 cups water
1 lb cooked egg noodles
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb meatloaf mix (ground pork beef veal)
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (white or wheat)
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken and clean vegetables.
  • Cut the tops off the carrots and remove onion skin but keep whole.
  • Place chicken, vegetables, bullion, tomato sauce and enough water to cover in a large stock pot, covered, over high heat until it boils.
  • Reduce heat and tilt lid to let soup simmer about 4 hours.
  • Strain fat from top of broth.
  • Carefully remove vegetables into a bowl to let cool.
  • Carefully remove chicken, it's HOT! and let rest while you strain the broth through a metal strainer into a smaller pot.
  • Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix. In a large saucepan, add two or three generous ladles of chicken soup broth.
  • Form small meatballs and cook in soup broth simmering until cooked, about 10 minutes. Add to strained broth.
  • While meatballs are cooking, slice carrots and celery, and shred or slice chicken and add to strained broth.
  • Now, I put some noodles into the bowl and add a ladle of soup on top and top it with grated cheese. (We're Italian. Cheese goes on everything.).
  • I do not add the noodles to the soup directly because they tend to soak up all the broth , which make it difficult to eat as leftovers. This recipe makes enough for two nights for my family of 5. I freeze half for another time.
