Marry Me Chicken Meatball Soup

Meatballs

- 2 oz. Parmesan finely grated (about 1 cup)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs unseasoned
- handful parsley chopped
- 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 3/4-1 tsp. kosher salt (I liked it better with 1 tsp and then the soup didn't need any additional salt when done. If you like things not so salty, use 3/4 tsp. We love salt! LOL)
- ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb. ground chicken Bell and Evans
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Soup
