Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or a mix of beef and pork
  • 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth, preferably homemade or low-sodium
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup small pasta like acini di pepe or orzo
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly.
  • Form the meatballs: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a plate and set aside.
  • Sauté the aromatics: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the broth and bring to a simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and raise the heat. When it reaches a gentle simmer, carefully drop in the meatballs one by one.
  • Simmer the soup: Let the meatballs cook for about 10 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through.
  • Add pasta and spinach: Stir in the small pasta and chopped spinach. Cook for another 6-8 minutes until pasta is tender and spinach has wilted.
  • Final seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Add fresh parsley to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve warm: Ladle into bowls and top with extra grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread.
