Why is this recipe great? What’s its backstory?
I was desperate to use up the crumbs from a bag of pizza dough crackers (so salty and delicious), so I started thinking about recipes that would involve meatballs… that day we went shopping and found minced chicken (relatively unusual for Belgium!) so we snatched it up, and threw together this soup. It has now become on regular rotation at our house. It’s so deep in flavour, if you do have the Parmesan rind don’t skip it, the broth becomes liquid gold. This soup is also very versatile, I have purposely not put amounts because you can really work with what you have, or what combination of vegetables you prefer.
