Steps:
- 1. Chicken Meatballs: Mix together ground chicken , red onion and garlic. Add the dill, olive oil,salt chili flakes and bread crumb mixture. Season to taste with s/p. Form into small meatballs....(1 teaspoon per meatball) Cover & refrigerate until ready to use.
- 2. Soup: In a medium stockpot, cook the vegetables in 1 tbsp oil for about 2 mins. Add the stock and chicken stock and simmer for approx 15 mins until meatballs are cooked.When ready divide watercress in bowls and ladle soup over top. Serve.
- 3. Chicken Stock: In a large stockpot heat 2 tbsps of olive oil on med-high heat. Add chicken bones or carcass /backs etc , stir to coat and cook for 5 mins to brown. Add all the vegetables along with herbs and peppercorns, Stir and add water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 4-6 hours. Adjust seasoning. The stock will have reduced by half. * Any leftover stock can be frozen You can alter this recipe to your own liking or as is..... I added cilantro to my soup,I left the breadcrumbs out of the meatballs...I am trying to go wheat free. I also didn't brown my chicken bones as they were backs and I threw them in the pot frozen. Next time I will be more prepared as I think browning the bones/meat will give the stock a richer flavor.I also threw in some fresh corn kernels. The watercress really is delicious with this.I don't recommend you leave it out!!
