Looking for a recipe for Italian Wedding soup?

Here is a variation of that recipe:





Meatballs:


1 small onion, grated


1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley


1 large egg


1 teaspoon minced garlic


1 teaspoon salt


1 slice fresh white bread, crust trimmed, bread torn into small pieces


1/2 cup grated Parmesan


8 ounces ground beef


8 ounces ground pork


Freshly ground black pepper


Soup:


12 cups low-sodium chicken broth


1 pound curly endive, coarsely chopped (1 pound of escarole would be a good substitution)


2 large eggs


2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish


Salt and freshly ground black pepper








To make the meatballs: Stir the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the cheese, beef and pork. Using 1 1/2 teaspoons for each, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on a baking sheet.


To make the soup: Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and curly endive and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through and the curly endive is tender, about 8 minutes. Whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the soup in a circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.





Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Finish soup with parmesan cheese if desired.Looking for a recipe for Italian Wedding soup?
