- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions
- Make the meatballs: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, then form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Boil the broth: In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
- Cook the meatballs: Carefully add the meatballs to the boiling broth. Allow them to cook for about 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and float to the surface.
- Add pasta and vegetables: Add in the pasta and mixed vegetables. Continue to cook until the pasta is tender, which typically takes 8-10 minutes.
- Serve and garnish: Bowl your soup hot, garnishing with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use whole wheat or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a healthier option. For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth if available.
