Chicken Soup with Cheese Balls - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute hard cheese with feta, ricotta, or even grated mozzarella for a milder flavor. Just adjust the flour slightly if the mixture is too wet.
Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the chicken. Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for more texture.
Yes, but omit the vermicelli as it can become mushy when reheated. Freeze the soup and cook fresh noodles when ready to serve.
Stored in an airtight container, the soup will stay fresh for 3–4 days. Reheat gently to avoid curdling the cheese.
Yes, prepare the cheese balls and refrigerate on a tray for up to 24 hours before adding to the soup. This helps them hold their shape.
Try using orzo, small pasta shells, or even rice as an alternative. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Mash a few potatoes or blend a small portion of the soup and stir it back in to thicken without altering the flavor.
Skip the potatoes and vermicelli, and use cauliflower or zucchini noodles instead. The cheese balls will still add richness.
Top with fresh parsley, a sprinkle of grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor and presentation.
Freshly grated cheese works best, as pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect texture. If using pre-shredded, add a bit more flour if needed.
