This soup is great just as is but it allows for you to add meat and even veggies to it as well. Since I do not believe in foods in a can, I either make my own broth or use the broth from a box. I typically will get Swanson's 48 oz. chicken broth. But you can use what you want even if it is a veggie broth.

This is one of my favorite recipes because of how easy and fast it is made. You can even change the soup by changing the type of bread used for the dumplings.

Enjoy!

Butterball Soup

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

· 8 slices day-old bread

· 3 tablespoons butter, softened

· 1 egg

· 1/4 teaspoon salt

· 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

· 3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth

DIRECTIONS

1. Remove crusts from day old bread and crumble stale slices into a medium bowl. Mix in the butter, egg, salt and pepper until dough forms. Knead until the dough can be formed into balls. Form balls 3/4 inch in diameter, the recipe should make about 30 balls.

2. Heat the chicken broth to boiling in a large saucepan or stockpot. Drop balls into the broth and simmer for 10 minutes, or until balls rise to the top. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

PEASANT'S SOUP

Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread, cut into thin slices
1 garlic clove, halved
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups broccoli florets
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Procedures:
1. Toast bread on both sides. Rub cut the side of the garlic generously over each slice of toast.
2. Bring chicken stock to a boil in a large saucepan. Add broccoli and cook for 30 seconds until broccoli is tender-crisp.
3. Ladle soup into heated soup bowls, place two or three slices of garlic toast in each, and sprinkle with Parmesan.

VARIATION:
Use thinly sliced mushrooms instead of broccoli and substitute garlic croutons-bread cubes cooked in garlic butter until crisp-for the garlic toast. If you feel extravagant, brown the mushrooms lightly in butter before adding to the stock.

4 servings.

I believe the butter and the egg. I have used several types of bread and all have stayed in balls
