Italian Wedding Soup

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 5 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups thinly sliced escarole
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped carrot

Directions:

  • Combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and onion powder in a bowl.

  • Shape beef mixture into 3/4-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Heat broth in a large pot over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in escarole, orzo, carrot, and meatballs and return to boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook at slow boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
