Italian Egg Drop Soup With Meatballs
Ready In: 40 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey, preferably thighs
- 1 cup seasoned Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 6 large eggs
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 head escarole, coarsely chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, bread crumbs, 3 eggs, 1/4 cup parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roll the mixture into 3/4-inch meatballs and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned, about 8 minutes. Pour in the broth, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir in the escarole.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the remaining 3 eggs with 2 tablespoons water and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the simmering broth, pushing the meatballs and escarole aside. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve with more parmesan and the lemon wedges.
