These meatballs will fluff up nicely and are a perfect way to sneak in more protein for the kids. I'm sure you can do this in a slow cooker as well to minimize active cooking time but I haven't tried it! Happy holiday!

Sommelier Suggests
Start Cooking
Sauté
-
In a stock pot, sauté onions with olive oil, salt, rosemary and thyme for 25 minutes on medium-low and keep tossing to avoid burning onions. Stir often and cook until onions are really dark brown (not black).
Make the Chicken Meatballs
-
Meanwhile, pulse carrots in a food processor until they are in very small pieces and transfer into a bowl.
-
Add the rest of the ingredients and lightly toss with your hands to incorporate. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to set about five to 10 minutes.
To Finish
-
Pour in the broth and water and bring to a boil.
-
Roll the meatballs into one-inch balls and drop them into the soup. Cook for 10–12 minutes on medium-low to simmer.

Onion Chicken Meatball Soup
Very original take!
This looked so fancy, and the chicken balls tasted great. I adjusted the method of the onion soup to be closer to real French onion soup, caramelising the onions with a little sugar for half an hour, then adding water with a little soup mix (about 1 tsp) and letting it simmer on low for an hour. The balls were easy to make (I cut up the grated carrots with a knife, rather than lugging out my food processor) I made 20 balls with half the mixture and froze the other half for use again, maybe with a vegetable soup instead. It was thoroughly enjoyed! -

Cooking time
Will the meatballs be cooked after only 12 minutes on a low simmer?Replies:
I would think in the boiling hot water it should be ok if they are very small meatballs. Think hamburgers that are grilled six minutes on each side in intense heat. I would check one to make sure though.
