Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 medium carrots (diced)
  • 2 celery stalks (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini, orzo)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix together ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add 6 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water to the pot, and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Use a small spoon to scoop ½-inch bits of the chicken mixture directly into the boiling broth. The meatballs do not have to be rolled or round.
  • Once all the meatballs are added, add 1 cup small pasta. Let the soup simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed for seasoning.
