Mix meatball ingredients, but don't overwork. Form into small meatballs (medium marble size).

Saute meatballs in olive oil until brown.

Bring chicken stock & garlic powder+celery salt to boil. Add chicken, meatballs & veggies and simmer 1 hour.

Depending on what greens you use, you will need to add them so they become tender, but not so soon that they turn to mush.

Add the pasta so that, according to the directions, it is done when you are done simmering the soup.

Remove chicken and shred. Replace in soup.
