Recipe "Say Hello to My Bowl of Soup"

Ingredients :

• 8 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
• 1 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 carrot, diced small
• 1 1/4 cup Orzo pasta (or any other pastini *small pasta*)
• 1/2 fresh lemon, juice squeezed
• 1 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh spinach (or 2 cups, depending on how much you love spinach) lol
• Mini Meatballs
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 slice white bread (crust removed) and torn into little pieces
• 1/4 small onion, diced small
• salt and pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1/4 cup Fresh parsley

Method :

1. In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients, and form your mini Meatballs.
2. Place your meatballs on a baking sheet and cook in oven @ 400°F for 20 min.
3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large soup pot and add your onion, garlic, carrot, dried herbs and salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent.
4. Add your white wine and cook for another 2 min.
5. Add your chicken broth then allow the liquid to come to a boil. Once it"s boiling, add your pastini.
6. When the pastini is about 1/2 way cooked, add your meatballs to the pot and cook until the pasta is about 90% cooked.
7. Finally, add your chopped fresh spinach and juice of half a lemon. (It looks like a lot of spinach at first, but it"ll cook down)
8. Allow everything to cook throughly (mainly the pasta)
9. Serve with fresh parmesan shavings (sadly I didn"t have any today) and some crusty Italian bread along side.
