Butter Balls for Chicken Broth or Noodle Soup

Recipe #302671 | 25 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Montana Heart Song

Because food prices are going through the roof I decided to post. Use day old or older bread. Use the crusts also. This is a German recipe from my relatives.You don't have to use cream, evaporated milk, half and half will do. I use "I Can't Believe it is Butter" Spread instead of Butter or Margerine. It is my posted recipe and it works well. The idea is taste, not cost. Cook the last five minutes in chicken noodle soup or vegetable soup. Note: You can use Egg Beaters instead of the Eggs. Add a dash of cornstarch to the Eggbeaters.
