Today we will be sharing a very traditional and delicious soup with you, Chicken Meatball Soup. This soup is something our mothers and grandmothers made us on cold days to keep us warm. There are many variations to this dish, and it can be made with beef, pork, turkey or chicken. Today we will be using ground chicken to make it less caloric.
We hope this soup warms and nourishes you as much as it has us.
Enjoy!
