Turkey Italian Wedding Soup with Kale image

Good-for-you comfort food. I couldn't find escarole at my local market so I subbed kale in this easy and hearty recipe. You could also use Swiss chard. Top soup with additional chopped fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
¼ cup Italian bread crumbs
1 pound lean ground turkey
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
2 cloves garlic, grated
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup chopped carrots
1 large shallot, sliced
10 cups chicken broth
½ cup dry white wine
¾ cup orzo
1 large bunch dinosaur kale, coarsely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk egg and water together in a bowl. Mix in bread crumbs and let stand 5 minutes. Add turkey, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; stir gently to blend. Shape mixture into 1 1/4-inch diameter meatballs using wet hands. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Coat chilled meatballs in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour remaining olive oil into a heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add carrots and shallot; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and wine. Bring to a boil, add orzo, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, until orzo is tender, about 5 minutes. Add kale and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes more. Add cooked meatballs and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really liked this soup! The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very comforting.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The kale adds a nice touch of bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the other vegetables.
