Italian Wedding Soup

[ChristineP]

Hi all,

I made this one for dinner tonight, and it was SO delicious!

Italian Wedding Soup
Source: unknown
Points: 2.5
Servings: 10 (approximately 1 cup)

Ingredients:
7 cups chicken broth, 4 14-oz cans
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup orzo
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 carrot, thinly sliced
4 ounces chopped fresh spinach
salt and pepper to taste

Meatballs:
1/2 pound 96% lean ground beef
4 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
1 egg

1. Combine meatball mixture and form into tiny meatballs about the size of marbles. Refrigerate until ready.

2. In a soup pot, combine the chicken broth, garlic, orzo, parsley, carrot and spinach. Bring to a rapid boil. Drop meatballs into the boiling broth mixture.

3. Cook until carrots are tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.

Enjoy!
Christine
