Easy Gondi (Persian Chicken + Chickpea Meatballs)
A warm, cozy soup with soft dumpling-style meatballs. My grandma used to come over every Sunday to make us a persian stew, some salad, and some tahdig for the week! Gondi has always been my absolute favorite persian soup. It's light and cozy! Perfect for rainy days or Friday night dinners
