Marching Toward Meatballs

What we are after here is the perfect chicken meatball for soup.  Gluten-free.  The first batch was perfect, flavor-wise, but the meatballs were a bit dense, sort of like ammunition.  I mean, one could chew them up easily, but don't you want them to just melt in your mouth?

So, today I tried the Second Meatball Maneuver,  merging the first meatball recipe with the gluten-free kluski dumpling recipe that I am coincidentally working on.  I can say definitely that progress has been made, but we are not there yet.  I am thinking, I used the right amount of eggs (six) and ought to have used half as much of everything else.  Watch this space!  (But not too soon... we have a lot of meatballs to eat up first.)

Update:  After sitting in soup overnight, these meatballs are nicer.  This may be the recipe after all.
