Ingredients

Vegetable Stock

  • 2 to 3 onions

  • 4 large carrots

  • 1 leek, checked

  • 1 green pepper

  • 1 handful parsley, checked

  • 2 to 3 stalks celery (or you can add in any kind of vegetable)

  • water to cover vegetables, plus an extra 3 to 4 inches

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

Chicken Mixture

  • 3 pounds ground chicken

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup checked and finely chopped (fresh) Italian parsley

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper

  • 2 medium carrots, grated

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • salt, to taste

  • pinch of sugar

  • 1 cup bread crumbs (from leftover challah – see NOTE)

For Serving

Directions

1.

Combine ingredients for vegetable stock in a large pot and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients together for the chicken mixture in a large bowl, adding bread crumbs last.

2.

Form mixture into big balls, keeping your palms moist so that chicken batter won’t stick to your hands.

3.

Place balls of chicken mixture into the boiling vegetable stock.

4.

Once the stock returns to a boil and is bubbling, lower flame and cook for one hour, partially covered.

5.

If you want to serve the soup and chicken balls with noodles, add desired amount of egg noodles to the pot about five to 10 minutes before serving.

6.

If you prefer a clear soup, strain the vegetable stock first, place chicken balls back into soup and reheat. Add noodles at this point.

Notes:

I find that homemade bread crumbs make the chicken balls softer. Just toast leftover challah in an oven on a large tray, and then put through the food processor for a few seconds.
