Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 pounds sliced mushrooms crimini or button or shiitake
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 16 ounces egg noodles cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated garlic, red pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, and half of the parsley until well-combined. The mixture will be wet and sticky. With wet hands, roll the meatballs into the size of a golf ball as best you can.
  • Set a large pot, over medium-high heat, with 2 tablespoons oil. Once hot, place about half of the meatballs into the pot, making sure not to over-crowd them. Brown on the first side for about 5 minutes, flipping over, and browning on the second side for about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate and continue browning the rest. We're not looking to cool the meatballs all the way here, just trying to develop flavor and color.
  • Once all the meatballs have browned, add the remaining tablespoon of oil into the pot and add the onions and garlic. Cook until softened and just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and fresh thyme. Cook until the mushrooms have softened, the liquid has evaporated and they're starting to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook until it has evaporated as well. Add the chicken stock and return the meatballs into the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve the soup by dividing the cooked egg noodles among large soup bowls. Ladle the soup on top and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
