Get Well Soon Soup Recipes

GET WELL SOON SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all stock ingredients in a very large stockpot.
• Bring to a boil & simmer 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove chicken to a strainer set over a large bowl. When cooled, pick meat off bones & reserve for another use.
• Let vegetables simmer another hour then strain. The liquid should be significantly reduced.
• While stock is blissfully simmering away, make meatballs.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine all meatball ingredients well with your hands.
• Shape into 1" balls. You should get about 2 dozen.
• Place on a baking sheet & bake 15 minutes. Roll around on baking tray & bake another 15 minutes.
• When stock is done & strained, put 8c into a large soup pot. Reserve the rest for a myriad of other dishes. It also freezes very well.
• Add all the vegetables to the stock.
• Bring to a boil & simmer until veggies are tender - about 15 minutes - breaking up the tomatoes a bit as it simmers.
• Add meatballs & heat through another 10 minutes.
• Taste for seasoning; add salt & pepper as necessary. Add parsley & serve.
• We enjoyed this garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
