Real comfort food! Have made this twice now. The first time exactly as written and the second with some tweaking. I used V-9 juice with 1 Tbls. of potato starch beaten in before using. I made exta balls and froze them on wax paper. One note: These balls are very soft to handle. I found it easier to chill meat before making the balls AND after. Thanks for a great addition to my cookbook.

This was great, dale! I didn't love the flavor of the scallions in the chicken balls, but my husband really likes it. Personal preference, I guess. Regardless, I will 100% be making this easy, filling soup again - maybe with basil instead of the scallion? Thank you for sharing!
