Instructions

Creating Vegetable Soup With Chicken Meatballs can be straightforward if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
5. Stir in the Remaining Ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, green beans, thyme, paprika, and bay leaves to the pot. Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
6. Cook the Meatballs: Gently add the prepared chicken meatballs to the pot. Allow them to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
7. Add Spinach: In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt.
8. Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
9. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

These steps will help you create a delightful bowl of Vegetable Soup With Chicken Meatballs with ease.
