Grandma Ruth's Italian Chicken Soup

What you need:

    • 4 cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded or cut into cubes
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
    • 3 stalks celery, chopped
    • 3 carrots, chopped
    • 1 large potato, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
    • Parsley, finely chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • 2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
    • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
    • 10 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cups cooked pasta (we used egg noodles)
    • 24 mini beef meatballs, cooked (we used the precooked, frozen Schwann's Italian meatballs and just stuck them in there a little early)

Directions:

    1. Combine ingredients, except pasta and meatballs in a large pot. Bring to a boil.
    2. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer over low heat for an hour.
    3. Add in pasta and meatballs and cook until pasta is done and meatballs are warm.
