Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe, 1 large bunch, trimmed and cut into large bite-sized pieces
Salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, 1 minced, 3 chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can white beans, cannellini
Black pepper
1 quart chicken stock
2 cups beef or vegetable stock
1/3 pound orecchiette, little ear shaped pasta, or ditalini
1 pound ground veal
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs, a couple of handfuls
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano or Romano, a generous handful, plus some to pass at table
2 to 3 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Crusty bread, for mopping

Steps:

  • Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in a medium skillet. Add salt to boiling water and the broccoli rabe and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Drain rabe and reserve.
  • While rabe cooks, heat a medium soup pot over medium to medium high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Add 3 cloves chopped garlic, carrots and onions. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, add white beans and heat through, a minute. Season veggies and beans with salt and pepper. Add drained rabe and the stocks and cover pot to bring to a quick boil. Add orecchiette and stir. Reduce heat and simmer soup to a low-roll, uncovered.
  • Mix veal with egg, remaining clove minced garlic, bread crumbs, cheese, sage and salt and pepper. Roll into 1-inch balls and drop into stoup. Cook 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings and serve stoup in shallow bowls with crusty bread.

This soup was a disappointment. The meatballs were tough and the broccoli rabe was overcooked. I wouldn't recommend it.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I wasn't a big fan of this soup. The meatballs were a little dry and the broccoli rabe was too bitter for my taste.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually double the recipe so I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This is a great recipe for a hearty and flavorful soup. I made it with ground beef instead of veal, and it was still delicious. I also added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery.

This veal meatball and broccoli rabe stoup was an absolute delight! The meatballs were tender and flavorful, and the broccoli rabe added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this again!
