Gundi (Persian Chicken Meatball Soup)

Directions

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in an 8-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
Season kosher wings with salt and pepper; cook, turning once, until browned, about 13 minutes.
Add roughly chopped onions, carrots, and garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 8 minutes.

Add Manischewitz® All-Natural Chicken Broth, bay leaf, and salt; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium; cook until slightly reduced, about 25 minutes.
Strain broth, discard solids, and return broth to pan.

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Add minced onion; cook until soft, 3-4 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and mix with remaining ingredients.
Using wet hands, divide mixture into six 3-inch balls.
Bring broth to a simmer; add meatballs.
Cook, partially covered, until cooked through, about 17 minutes.
To serve, divide broth and meatballs among 6 bowls.
