Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

For soup
1 onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound escarole (about 1/2 head), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips, washed well, and spun dry (about 6 cups packed)
3 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta) or other small pasta
For meatballs
1/4 pound ground turkey
3 tablespoons fine fresh bread crumbs
1 large egg yolk
1 scallion, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make soup:
  • In a large heavy saucepan cook onion and rosemary in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add escarole, stirring to coat with oil, and cook, covered, 1 minute. Add broth and orzo and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Make meatballs while soup simmers:
  • In a bowl combine well all meatball ingredients except oil and season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. In a heavy 9-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown meatballs about 3 minutes (meatballs will not be cooked through).
  • Add meatballs to soup and simmer, partially covered, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the turkey meatballs. It was still delicious!

This soup was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less escarole.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit with my family! The meatballs were so tender and juicy, and the escarole added a nice bitterness that balanced out the sweetness of the carrots and celery. I will definitely be making this soup again.
