CHICKEN AND BEEF MEATBALL SOUP
This Dutch recipe is my mother's. She was making this in Holland from scratch during the war. In 1951 we came to America and she continued making it until she quit cooking around 1981. I Love this soup, my brother and sister and I make this especially around Christmas and New Years time. After coming to the US in 1951 she found that the boxed Lipton Chicken Soup without meat worked and tasted as well as spending time making her own chicken broth.

Steps:
- Follow instructions on the box for instant soup. Too much or too little water and the soup is either too weak or too salty.
- Add chicken stock mix to boiling water.
- Roll ground beef into little meat balls approximately the size of a quarter.
- Bring chicken stock mix to a boil, add the meat balls, add the vermicelli, nutmeg and parsley. Break vermicelli noodles into 1/2 inch pieces. adding too much vermicelli makes the soup too thick.
- Cook until all meatballs surface, approximately 15 minutes.
- Add a dash of Magi to taste, otherwise use salt and pepper. (a few dashes of dark Japanese soy sauce can be substituted, but it just doesn't taste the same, just too salty).
- This soup can be eaten right after it is made, but is much better the following day after it is refrigerated and reheated. Place in refrigerator.
- After cooling, don't skim fat.
- Place back on burner and reheat.
- Good for three or four days and is delicious. To serve as a meal, add a nice salad and some crusty bread and butter. Enjoy!

LEMONY CHICKEN-FETA MEATBALL SOUP WITH SPINACH
Some might be suspicious of the rolled oats called for in this recipe, but used in place of breadcrumbs, they help create a light and tender chicken meatball. A half-cup more is simmered in the broth, which thickens it and provides a pleasant texture. The meatballs, made with ground chicken, feta and fresh dill, swim in a lemony, spinach-filled broth that's comforting and light, perfect for lunch or dinner. Serve any leftovers with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the soup.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the chicken, feta, 1/4 cup oats, the grated onion, most of the dill (reserve about 2 tablespoons for garnish), the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and 1 teaspoon salt. Gently combine without squeezing too hard or overworking the meat. Lightly wet your palms and shape the meat into small balls, a little smaller than the size of a golf ball, about 1 1/2 inches. (You will have approximately 25 balls.)
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or wide pot over medium until shimmering. Add the diced onion, season with salt, and cook until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon turmeric and the red-pepper flakes, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Push the onions to the sides as best you can, then add the meatballs. (They will be close together, and that's OK.) Cook until browned on two sides, 5 to 7 minutes total.
- Pour in the broth and remaining ½ cup oats, then gently tilt the pot to the right and left to distribute the oats and broth without disturbing the meatballs. Bring to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer. Season with salt. Cook, gently stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, until the oats have softened and the meatballs are cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
- Stir in the spinach and lemon juice until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Spoon into bowls, top with pepper and the remaining dill. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling in the kitchen.
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and high-quality ground chicken and beef.
- Brown the Meatballs Thoroughly: Browning the meatballs before adding them to the soup helps develop their flavor and prevents them from falling apart.
- Simmer the Soup Low and Slow: Simmering the soup over low heat for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to develop fully.
- Season to Taste: Taste the soup at various stages of cooking and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs to suit your preference.
