THAI-INSPIRED CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP



Thai-Inspired Chicken Meatball Soup image

This stellar soup is reviving and cozy, made in one pot, and ready in 30 minutes. It starts with ginger-scented chicken-cilantro meatballs that are browned, then simmered in a fragrant coconut milk broth that's inspired by tom kha gai, a Thai chicken-coconut soup seasoned with lemongrass, galangal, makrut lime leaves and chile. A heap of spinach is added for color and flavor, and a squeeze of lime adds brightness and punch. The soup is brothy, so serve it over rice or another grain to make it a full meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (4-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeño
2 pounds ground chicken
1 large bunch cilantro, leaves and stems finely chopped, a few whole leaves reserved for serving
3 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable or coconut oil, plus more as needed
2 cups chicken broth
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
5 ounces baby spinach
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
Steamed white or brown rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Using the small holes of a box grater, or a Microplane, grate the ginger, garlic and jalapeño (or finely chop them by hand). Transfer half to a large bowl and set the rest aside. To the large bowl, add the chicken, finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands or a fork to fully combine but do not overmix.
  • Use your hands or an ice cream scoop to form 2-inch meatballs (about 2 ounces each). In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on two sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat, adding oil as needed.
  • Once all the meatballs are browned and out of the pot, if the oil is burned, wipe it out and add a bit more to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved ginger mixture and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add the meatballs and any juices from the plate, and simmer until the flavors come together and the meatballs are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the spinach and lime juice. Divide rice among bowls, then top with meatballs, broth and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

LEMONY CHICKEN-FETA MEATBALL SOUP WITH SPINACH



Lemony Chicken-Feta Meatball Soup With Spinach image

Some might be suspicious of the rolled oats called for in this recipe, but used in place of breadcrumbs, they help create a light and tender chicken meatball. A half-cup more is simmered in the broth, which thickens it and provides a pleasant texture. The meatballs, made with ground chicken, feta and fresh dill, swim in a lemony, spinach-filled broth that's comforting and light, perfect for lunch or dinner. Serve any leftovers with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the soup.

Provided by Yasmin Fahr

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground chicken or turkey, preferably dark meat
1/2 cup crumbled feta
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 small red onion, halved (1/2 diced, and 1/2 grated, then squeezed with a paper towel to remove excess liquid)
1/3 packed cup fresh dill leaves and fine stems, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
4 packed cups baby spinach (about 5 ounces)
2 lemons (1 juiced and 1 cut into wedges for serving)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the chicken, feta, 1/4 cup oats, the grated onion, most of the dill (reserve about 2 tablespoons for garnish), the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt. Gently combine without squeezing too hard or overworking the meat. Lightly wet your palms and shape the meat into small balls, a little smaller than the size of a golf ball, about 1 1/2 inches. (You will have approximately 25 balls.)
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide pot over medium until shimmering. Add the diced onion, season with salt, and cook until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon turmeric and the red-pepper flakes, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Push the onions to the sides as best you can, then add the meatballs. (They will be close together, and that's OK.) Cook until browned on two sides, 5 to 7 minutes total.
  • Pour in the broth and remaining ½ cup oats, then gently tilt the pot to the right and left to distribute the oats and broth without disturbing the meatballs. Bring to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer. Season with salt. Cook, gently stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, until the oats have softened and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
  • Stir in the spinach and lemon juice until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Spoon into bowls, top with pepper and the remaining dill. Serve with lemon wedges.

ALBONDIGAS DE POLLO (CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP)



Albondigas de Pollo (chicken meatball soup) image

Growing up I always had a difficult time making this specific soup. It is my ultimate favorite. I do hope you enjoy as much as I do especialy with the Winter Time right around the corner. :-D

Provided by Gina Gonzalez

Categories     Other Soups

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground chicken
1/2 c non cooked rice(i preffer jasmine rice)
1 can(s) salsa de pato if you cant find that you can also use tomatoe sauce
2 tsp knorr tomato bouillon with chicken flavor
1 large raw egg
1 small amount of mint, fresh (chopped)
1 medium sized brown onion
3 carrots
3 0r 4 red potatoes or russett potatoes
1 small amount of bread crumbs
2 bay leaves, dried
1 Tbsp salt
IS GOING TO BE USE FOR THE MEAT BALLS
1 pinch mint
FINELY CHOPPED AND MIXED IN WITH THE GROUND CHICKEN

Steps:

  • 1. get 1 lb of ground chicken and put it on a medium round bowl
  • 2. So the reason I use a large brown onion is half is chopped and sautee with not to much oil as you can see by the picture shown. Sautee for about 2min in medium high heat and the other half finely chopped for the meatballs
  • 3. As you can see the amount of water is used in the meantime after I sautee the onions you want to go ahead and add a can of salsa del pato or tomatoe sauce. The reason i prefer Salsa Del Pato it has a kick to it :)
  • 4. Now you want to start heating everything up to Med High
  • 5. Do not forget to add the 2 bay leaves this gives out more flavor to the broth too **Dont be shy**
  • 6. Now the good Stuff begins!! add the 2 Tsb of Knorr tomato boullion flavor to the broth
  • 7. Before you start adding the salt taste the broth to see how much salt you might need I only add a couple of pinches after the chicken flavor who would want to add more salt right? just season it to your perfection :)
  • 8. While you wait for the broth to simmer you want to start fixing the meat balls add about 1/2 cup or a 1 cup of jasmine rice uncooked
  • 9. Now your ready to chop the Mint and Mix in to the ground chicken :)
  • 10. I was not able to take a picture in slow motion of me cracking the eggs so as you can see the eggs are in the back ground of the picture along with the mint mixed in with the ground meat :0) Sorry I am my own camera woman/ recipe maker
  • 11. Here's the fun part you mix all the ingredient up to start making you meat balls i know they look big but there actually small remember you don't want to make them so big they will puff up as the are being cooked into the soup.
  • 12. Now the soup is simmering ready to throw the (albondigas) meatballs to the pot :)
  • 13. As soon as you see one or two meat balls starting to rise as you see in this picture you want to start adding your veggies.
  • 14. and the potatoes and carrots are chopped and peel and ready to cook
  • 15. **FOOT NOTES** The Reason I choose 1 Medium Brown Onion is because half of it is used to sautee onto the broth the rest is finely chopped into the grounded chicken meat.(well that is optional) Another thing you do want to season the albondigas with a dash or a pinch of salt. You also want to give the veggies 15 to 20 minutes to simmer into the broth.( I like my veggies semi cooked) The bread crumbs are totally optional really is not necessary to mix into the (albondigas) meatballs I use it more for flavor.

CHICKEN AND BEEF MEATBALL SOUP



Chicken and Beef Meatball Soup image

This Dutch recipe is my mother's. She was making this in Holland from scratch during the war. In 1951 we came to America and she continued making it until she quit cooking around 1981. I Love this soup, my brother and sister and I make this especially around Christmas and New Years time. After coming to the US in 1951 she found that the boxed Lipton Chicken Soup without meat worked and tasted as well as spending time making her own chicken broth.

Provided by Nine 12 fingers

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (1 7/8 ounce) boxes Lipton Instant Chicken Soup Mix, NO chicken meat (2 envelopes per box)
4 quarts water
1 lb ground beef (15-22% fat content (Using a low fat beef will not work as the soup will taste like boiled water)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup dried parsley
2 -3 ounces vermicelli
1 dash Dutch Beef Extract Maggi (American brand MAGI will not work as it tastes very different from the Dutch brand)

Steps:

  • Follow instructions on the box for instant soup. Too much or too little water and the soup is either too weak or too salty.
  • Add chicken stock mix to boiling water.
  • Roll ground beef into little meat balls approximately the size of a quarter.
  • Bring chicken stock mix to a boil, add the meat balls, add the vermicelli, nutmeg and parsley. Break vermicelli noodles into 1/2 inch pieces. adding too much vermicelli makes the soup too thick.
  • Cook until all meatballs surface, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Add a dash of Magi to taste, otherwise use salt and pepper. (a few dashes of dark Japanese soy sauce can be substituted, but it just doesn't taste the same, just too salty).
  • This soup can be eaten right after it is made, but is much better the following day after it is refrigerated and reheated. Place in refrigerator.
  • After cooling, don't skim fat.
  • Place back on burner and reheat.
  • Good for three or four days and is delicious. To serve as a meal, add a nice salad and some crusty bread and butter. Enjoy!

Next time I will be more prepared as I think browning the bones/meat will give the stock a richer flavor.I also threw in some fresh corn kernels. The watercress really is delicious with this.I don't recommend you leave it out!!

VIETNAMESE CHICKEN MEATBALL SOUP WITH BOK CHOY



Vietnamese Chicken Meatball Soup with Bok Choy image

Throughout Vietnam there are many kinds of soups, "canh," served all year long. I particularly love enjoying this warm, flavorful bowl of Vietnamese chicken soup on laid-back weekends, but it's also great packed in a Thermos for lunch. It's the perfect bok choy soup, too! -Brenda Watts, Gaffney, South Carolina
