Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup cold water
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup onion, finely minced
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
8 cups chicken broth
2 large carrots, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 cup orzo pasta or 1 cup Italian pastina
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, washed trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, water, egg, 1/3 cup onion, bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Shape the mixture into small 1-inch meatballs.
  • In a large pot, combine the broth, carrots, celery, 1/2 large onion and bring them to a simmer. Add the orzo and let it cook for 5 minutes (pastina takes 2 minutes), stirring frequently.
  • Add the meatballs and simmer them in broth for 15-20 minutes. Then stir in the spinach and simmer it until it's wilted, about 1 minute.
  • (I also have added fresh parsley to the soup when I have it! - about 1/4 cup chopped).

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and it worked perfectly in this soup. The soup was very flavorful and the chicken was moist and tender.

I used ground turkey instead of ground beef for the meatballs and it turned out great! The soup was still very flavorful and the meatballs were nice and tender.
