Time 2h

Yield 18 1 gallon soup, 8-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large chicken breasts (with bone & skin)
8 cups water
8 chicken bouillon cubes
2 celery, sticks whole for flavor discard after broth is made
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 egg
1/4 cup parsley flakes
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup inceni di peppi pasta (teeny tiny pasta that are round)
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped carrots
chopped spinach, 2 handfuls

Steps:

  • BROTH:.
  • To make broth boil water, add chicken, whole celery sticks, bouillon & boil for 45 minutes take out chicken & let cool, drain the broth into another pan through a strainer. This is your homemade broth, throw away celery & take of the skin of chicken and pull of the meat from the bone & set to the side until ready to add back to broth.
  • MEATBALLS:.
  • Mix ground beef or g. turkey, egg, parsley, garlic & bread crumbs. Now take a small melon baller to make the same size meatballs every time & scoop put & roll into balls & pan fry until browned on the outside. Set them aside & drain on paper towels after browned until ready to add to broth.
  • PASTA:.
  • In a small pot boil water with salt & add pasta cook as directed on the box, probably 8 mins drain through strainer.
  • Chop 2 cups each of celery & carrots.
  • Now add all ingredients back into broth -- celery, carrots, shredded chicken, lil meatballs & bring to boil then simmer for 25 minutes.
  • at the end you'll prob add a few more cups of water to the broth & add to handfuls of chopped spinach.
  • I ALWAYS serve with fresh parmesan that melts in the broth & is delish!
  • You can always add some fresh basil when serving also! I usually have fresh bread with evoo & italian herbs to dip bread in & this is a wonderful meal!
  • ENJOY.

This soup was easy to make and so delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful.
