Chicken Meatball Soup

Make the Meatballs

1.    In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, ½ finely chopped onion, salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.

2.    Mix well and form into small meatballs (wet hands help prevent sticking). Set aside.

Sauté the Base

3.    In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat pork lard (or ghee/coconut oil) over medium heat.

4.    Add the remaining ½ chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and golden.

5.    Add the garlic and cook for 1–2 more minutes, stirring often.

6.    Add carrots, zucchini, potato, grated turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes to release the flavors.

Simmer the Soup

7.    Pour in the bone broth and add bay leaves. Bring to a gentle boil.

8.    Carefully drop in the prepared meatballs.

9.    Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, or until meatballs are fully cooked and vegetables are tender.

Add the Egg Ribbons

10.  While the soup is hot and gently simmering, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs, stirring gently in a circular motion to form soft egg ribbons.

Serve & Enjoy

11.  Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley, cilantro, or dill) if desired.

12.  Serve warm for a nourishing, high-protein meal that supports gut health, immune strength, and steady energy.

Nutrition Facts:

🐔 Ground Chicken (or Grass-Fed Beef)

Lean and mean, ground chicken is packed with high-quality protein (about 22g per 3 oz), which helps build and repair muscle while keeping you satisfied.

Swap for grass-fed beef and you get more iron, B12, and omega-3s—it’s like meat with a side of brain fuel.

🥚 Pasture-Raised Eggs

These golden beauties are rich in choline (essential for brain and nervous system health), B vitamins, and protein. They also create those dreamy egg ribbons without needing any noodles.

🥕 Carrots

These colorful coins are loaded with beta-carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A—great for eye health, glowing skin, and a solid immune boost.

🥔 Potato

Adds a comforting carb hit, plus vitamin C, potassium, and resistant starch (especially when cooled). Helps balance the meal and keeps your energy steady.

🧄 Garlic & Onion

The dynamic duo of flavor and function! Both are rich in prebiotics (which feed your good gut bacteria) and contain antioxidant compounds that support immune function and reduce inflammation.

🧡 Turmeric Root

Tiny root, big deal. Turmeric is famous for curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Bonus points if paired with black pepper to boost absorption!

🥒 Zucchini

Low-cal, high-hydration veggie that delivers vitamin C, potassium, and gut-friendly fiber—basically the overachiever of the soup bowl.

🍳 Egg Ribbons = Protein Noodles

Skip the carbs and get delicate strands of high-protein, low-carb deliciousness. Bonus: they look fancy with zero effort.

🦴 Bone Broth

This magical liquid brings collagen, gelatin, amino acids(like glycine), and minerals for joint health, gut lining repair, and a dose of warm, cozy vibes.

🍃 Bay Leaves, Cumin, Coriander

These herbs and spices aren’t just for flavor—they also provide antioxidant and digestive benefits, plus they make your kitchen smell amazing.
