Description

This soup is full of all kinds of good things: tiny meatballs, spinach, and pasta. And the icing on top? It’s light, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 4 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 80 ounces, fluid Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach (or 1 Cup Frozen)
  • 1 cup Orzo

Preparation

In a bowl combine the meat, eggs, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, basil and garlic. Shape the mixture into 3/4″ meatballs. In a soup pot, heat the broth to boiling; add the meatballs. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the spinach and pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is tender. Serve.

You can use 1 cup frozen chopped spinach in place of fresh spinach.

I made this tonight. Forgot to buy basil, so I used a couple of tablespoons of basil pesto in the meatballs and skipped the garlic – it was wonderful. Very simple soup that was amazingly flavorful. Super easy to make, too.

Loved it with some crusty Italian bread with, you guessed it, more pesto. YUMM!

This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to make it. But, did you mean 8 cups of broth? …

This was really a great recipe! Very easy and it uses ingredients that I keep in my pantry which makes me love it more! Plus the cook time makes it a real winner, too.
