Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 47m

Yield 4 big servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 bay leaves, fresh or dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground beef, pork and veal combined
1 egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano, a couple of handfuls
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs, a couple of handfuls
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
6 cups chicken stock or broth
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups dried pasta, rings, broken fettuccini or ditalini
1 pound triple washed fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
Grilled 4 Cheese Sandwiches, recipe follows*
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
3 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, cracked away from skin
8 slices crusty Italian semolina bread
1 cup shredded provolone
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano
1 cup shredded Asiago

Steps:

  • In a deep pot over medium heat add oil, chopped carrots, celery and onions and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5 or 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the veggies cook, combine meat, egg, garlic, grated cheese, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg.
  • Uncover your soup pot and add broth and water to the pot. Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. When soup boils, reduce heat a bit and start to roll meat mixture into small balls, dropping them straight into the pot. You are making meat dumplings that will cook in the broth. When you are done rolling the meat, add pasta to the soup and stir. Cover and simmer soup 10 minutes. When pasta is tender, stir in chopped spinach in batches. When spinach has wilted into the soup, the soup is done and ready to serve. Adjust your seasonings. Serve soup with crusty bread or grilled 4 cheese sandwiches.
  • In a small skillet over medium low heat, combine oil, butter and garlic. Cook garlic in butter and oil gently for 2 or 3 minutes. Remove garlic butter mixture from heat.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Using a pastry brush, brush 1 side of 4 slices of bread with garlic oil and place buttered side down in skillet. Top each slice with equal amounts of the 4 cheeses, distributing them equally over the 4 slices. Top each sandwich with another slice of bread brushed with garlic butter, buttered side up. Flip the grill cheese sandwiches a few times until cheeses are melted and gooey and bread is toasty and golden. Cut grilled 4 cheese sandwiches from corner to corner and serve.

CHICKEN AND EGG SOUP WITH LITTLE VEAL MEATBALLS



Chicken and Egg Soup with Little Veal Meatballs image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (3 to 4-pound) whole chicken, cleaned and gutted
Kosher salt
2 cloves
4 quarts water
2 pounds beef bones, preferably from the leg, cut into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 onion, peeled, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick
Freshly cracked white pepper
1 small bunch fresh thyme, washed and tied with string
2 fresh bay leaves
1/2 pound ground veal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Few basil leaves, snipped small with scissors
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs, toasted
3 eggs, very lightly beaten
3 cups loosely packed spinach leaves, washed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • This recipe has many personal touches: The combination of beef and chicken in the base of the recipe is something I got from my mother, studding the chicken with a couple of cloves to add a special flavor from making chicken stock at Guy Savoy in Paris and most of all, the meatballs from my parents. This soup is a meal unto itself and tastes even better leftover.
  • 2 stalks celery with leaves, inner pieces from the bunch peeled of outer skin, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • Soup: Season the chicken with salt, to taste, and push the 2 cloves into 1 of the chicken thighs. Add it to a large stock pot, cover with about 4 quarts water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, season the beef bones with salt and brown them in a cast iron pan with the canola oil, searing them over medium heat. Add them to the pot with the chicken. To the pan that the bones were seared in, over medium heat, add the carrots, celery and onion and toss until they are coated in oil. Add the thyme and bay leaves to the stock pot along with the sauteed vegetables. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and skim the surface with a ladle. Discard any oil or "scum" that accumulates. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, not too much, and lower the heat to finish cooking the chicken slowly.
  • Meatballs: Put the ground veal into a medium bowl. Add the salt, garlic, Parmesan, basil, egg and bread crumbs. Use your hands to mix to blend the ingredients. Roll a small meatball and cook a "tester" ladled into the soup, if desired. Taste and reseason the meat mixture, if needed. Roll the rest of the veal into small meatballs. They should be about the size of a small cherry tomato. (Chef's Note: Imperfectly rolled meatballs actually make this soup more homey and real.) Arrange the meatballs in a single layer on a baking sheet and refrigerate.
  • After about 45 minutes at a gentle simmer, taste the chicken soup and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Use a large spoon and a pair of tongs to remove the chicken to a baking sheet or other flat surface and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Remove the beef bones and scoop out the marrow. Add it to the soup, if desired. Remove and discard the fresh thyme and bay leaves. Take the breast and thigh meat off the chicken, taking care to discard the bones and skin. Break the chicken into bite-size pieces, but not too small, and add them to the soup.
  • Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and add the meatballs. Allow it to continue simmering for a couple of minutes so the meatballs have a chance to cook. Drizzle in the eggs and continue to mix as they cook. They should look like little threads in the soup. Stir in the spinach and taste for seasoning. Transfer the soup to serving bowls and serve sprinkled with the Parmesan.

FAMOUS HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP WITH MEATBALLS - ITALIAN STYLE



Famous Homemade Chicken Soup With Meatballs - Italian Style image

Make and share this Famous Homemade Chicken Soup With Meatballs - Italian Style recipe from Food.com.

Provided by The Miserable Gourm

Time 4h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken
1 large onion
1 lb carrot, cleaned
4 celery ribs, cleaned
2 knorr's chicken bouillon cubes
1 knorr's vegetable bouillon cube
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
8 -12 cups water
1 lb cooked egg noodles
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lb meatloaf mix (ground pork beef veal)
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (white or wheat)
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken and clean vegetables.
  • Cut the tops off the carrots and remove onion skin but keep whole.
  • Place chicken, vegetables, bullion, tomato sauce and enough water to cover in a large stock pot, covered, over high heat until it boils.
  • Reduce heat and tilt lid to let soup simmer about 4 hours.
  • Strain fat from top of broth.
  • Carefully remove vegetables into a bowl to let cool.
  • Carefully remove chicken, it's HOT! and let rest while you strain the broth through a metal strainer into a smaller pot.
  • Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix. In a large saucepan, add two or three generous ladles of chicken soup broth.
  • Form small meatballs and cook in soup broth simmering until cooked, about 10 minutes. Add to strained broth.
  • While meatballs are cooking, slice carrots and celery, and shred or slice chicken and add to strained broth.
  • Now, I put some noodles into the bowl and add a ladle of soup on top and top it with grated cheese. (We're Italian. Cheese goes on everything.).
  • I do not add the noodles to the soup directly because they tend to soak up all the broth , which make it difficult to eat as leftovers. This recipe makes enough for two nights for my family of 5. I freeze half for another time.
