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.
