Making butterballs
  1. In a large bowl, add breadcrumbs and season with allspice.
  2. In a separate bowl beat the egg and add it to the bowl of breadcrumbs.

  4. Add the cream to the bowl of breadcrumbs and mix everything to form a dough. Let the dough sit in a fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
  5. Once its out then you can start to form balls that are not too big but not too small either. Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Making the chicken and butterball soup

  2. Add the chicken and sauté for 5 minutes until the chicken changes its raw color. Then add the shredded carrots and allow to cook for 5 more minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth and butterballs then cook until they sit and float above the broth. This could take 10 to 15 minutes. The chicken butterballs soup is ready to be served.
