Meatball Soup
Since there are few ingredients in this soup, I strongly suggest home made chicken broth.
What you need
- 6 cup homemade organic chicken broth
- 3/4 lb. ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- 1/4-1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
- 2 tbl minced fresh basil
- 3 scallions, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- 12-15 leaves napa cabbage
- Grated romano or parmesan to serve
How to make it
- Heat chicken broth to a low boil
- Combine ground turkey, egg, basil, scallion, salt & pepper
- With broth at a very low boil, form 1/2 - 3/4 inch meatballs and add to broth
- When all meatballs have been added to broth, increase heat slightly so broth remains at a very low boil - cook for 20 minutes
- Remove base ends of cabbage leaves and cut leaves midway at point where the leaves are mostly stalks
- Cut stalk portions into 1/8 - 1/4 inch strips across and add to broth
- Cut upper portion of leaves (leafy portion) in 1/8 - 1/4 inch strips across and reserve
- When meatballs have cooked for 20 minutes, add remaining cabbage and stir - cook 2-3 minutes
- Turn off heat and cover until ready to serve
