Time 1h15m

Yield Eight to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups basic chicken broth (see recipe)
1 carrot, peeled and minced
1 onion, peeled and minced
1 stalk celery, peeled and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 egg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chicken soup in a wide pot over low heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery and garlic and simmer over very low heat for 40 minutes. Add the shredded chicken.
  • Meanwhile, place the ground beef in a bowl. Season with a half teaspoon of salt, a half teaspoon of black pepper and one tablespoon of the minced parsley. Form the meat into balls that are about one inch in diameter. Using a spoon, gently slide the meatballs into the broth. Do not raise heat or stir, but use a spoon to gently turn each meatball, so that they cook evenly.
  • Place the ricotta and the egg in a bowl. Season it with one teaspoon of salt, a half-teaspoon of black pepper and one tablespoon of the minced parsley, then stir well to combine. After the meatballs have cooked for 20 minutes, use a teaspoon to form ricotta dumplings and carefully slide them into the broth. Do not raise the heat or touch the dumplings until they are set, about seven minutes.
  • Adjust the seasoning of the soup with additional salt and pepper. Carefully ladle the soup into warmed bowls, garnishing each with the remaining minced parsley, and serve.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred it with a bit less sugar.

The soup was good, but I found the escarole to be a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred it with a bit less escarole.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a bit more garlic and pepper. The escarole was a nice addition, though.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the soup turned out beautifully. The escarole added a slight bitterness that balanced out the richness of the sausage and beans. The pasta cooked perfectly, and the overall flavor was fantastic.
