                        -----CHICKEN BALLS-----
   1       lb           Raw lean ground chicken
   2       sl           Whole grain bread -- crumbled
   3       tb           Parmesan cheese -- grated
   2       tb           Fresh parsley
   1                    Egg -- lightly beaten
   1       t            Garlic -- minced
   1       t            Lemon rind -- grated
     1/4   ts           Nutmeg -- grated
                        Salt and pepper to taste

                        Chopped fresh parsley

  1.  In a mixing bowl combine the chicken ball ingredients and mix
  together with your hands until well-combined.  Form into balls the
  size of walnuts.
  
  2.  Bring the broth to a full boil, carefully drop in the balls,
  cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes, or until just
  tender but not overcooked.
  
  3.  Serve the soup hot, garnished with a light sprinkling of Parmesan
  cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
  
  Lean turkey can be substituted for the chicken.
