Special Chicken Noodle Soup

I came across this Tyler Florence recipe and just had to try and make it! It turned out really delicious and was definitely a filling soup!

Chop up your basic ingredients- carrots, celery, onion, garlic and fresh thyme.

Saute in a stock pot.

Add chicken broth.

Saute some onion that will be used in the meatballs.

Combine the chicken/apple sausage with parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, egg and the onion in a food processor.

Pulse until you get this!

Form little meatballs.

Add store bought mini cheese tortellini.

Saute the meatballs in a non-stick skillet.  These were starting to crumble and fall apart (which I thought it was odd that the recipe didn't call for breadcrumbs), so we stuck them in the oven to continue cooking.

Going into the oven on the silpat.

Once cooked, add to the soup!

Garnish each bowl of soup with fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese! Enjoy!
