GNOCCHI, SPINACH, AND MEATBALL SOUP
This is one of those soup dishes ideal for warming the soul during a winter day. This is similar to an Italian wedding soup but creamy with meatballs and potato gnocchi. I make my own chicken stock and meatballs but you can use store-bought.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat and saute onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and bring liquid slowly up to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs. Combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, onion powder, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Roll mixture into tiny 1/2-inch meatballs.
- Once the soup is boiling, carefully drop meatballs one by one into the pot. Bring back up to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim off any gray muck that comes to the top with a spoon and discard.
- Add carrots, escarole, and gnocchi and bring soup back to a simmer. Stir in half-and-half, spinach, and herbs. When gnocchi rise to the top, remove from heat.
- Remove bay leaf and serve soup with Parmesan cheese.

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP WITH GNOCCHI
Is this a soup or is this a stew? An absolutely delicious recipe. The mini chicken meatballs and gnocchi are like little mini dumplings that cook right in the soup. Yes, you can use another type of pasta but it won't have the same special creaminess that you get with the gnocchi. Forget the chili, I'm making this at the next football party. This is a hearty, fresh and delicious Stoup!

Steps:
- To make the meatballs it's really easy. Just mix all the meatball ingredients together in a big bowl and then shape them into walnut sized meatballs (about 40-45) and set aside while you prepare the soup.
- To make the soup, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the celery, onions, carrots and cook 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the broth, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
- Once the soup is at a boil, turn down the heat a little and slowly add the little chicken dumplings and simmer for about 10 minutes than add the gnocchi and simmer for another 5 minutes. Now add the peas and parsley and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- The soup is done when the meatballs and gnocchi are cooked through.

Steps:
- Select the Sauté function on a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add sausage to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic and sauté until sausage is browned and crumbled and the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes more. Push Cancel to end Sauté function.
- Pour the chicken stock, water, salt, and pepper into the pot and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add the gnocchi to the pot but do not stir.
- Close the lid and set the cooking time to 0 minutes at High pressure. It will take about 16 minutes for the pot to reach pressure before the cooking time begins. After the timer beeps, allow the pressure to release from the pot naturally for 5 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure using the manufacturer's quick release method, about 5 minutes more.
- Open the lid and select the Sauté function one more time. Stir in the kale and heavy whipping cream. Sauté, stirring occasionally until the kale has wilted, about 2 minutes. Push Cancel to end Sauté function.
- Serve in bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the meatballs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
