INGREDIENTS

  • For the spinach meatballs:
  • 8 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • 8 ounces ground Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the soup:
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces orzo pasta
  • salt & pepper
  • fresh grated Parmesan cheese



DIRECTIONS

  1. FOR THE SPINACH MEATBALLS:
  2. Using your hands combine the meatball ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Roll the mixture in your hands to form balls roughly 1 inch in diameter and place on a baking sheet, you should have around 50 meatballs when finished.
  4. Cover the meatballs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Remove meatballs from the fridge and preheat the oven to 425°F. Place meatballs in the preheated oven and cook for 12 minutes. Set aside.
  6. FOR THE SOUP:
  7. Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes or until garlic becomes fragrant and onion begins to soften.
  8. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the orzo and meatballs, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
