    2 ribs celery, sliced
    1 bay leaf
    4 fresh thyme sprigs
    3 quarts low-sodium chicken broth
    5 parsley stems, plus 1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
    4 black peppercorns
    Kosher salt
    Grated Parmigiana-Reggiano, for garnish
    For the meatballs:
    1 medium onion, diced
    Olive oil
    6 links organic chicken-apple sausage meat
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
    1 handful fresh parsley leaves
