Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 celery diced, rib
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 64 ounces chicken broth
- 24 meatballs mini size
- 1 cup Acini di pepe pasta pasta
- 1 cup spinach chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese for topping
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, on medium heat melt the butter and extra virgin olive oil. Add in the chopped carrot and onion and sauté for 5 minutes until it begins to soften. Then add in one cup chicken broth, garlic and Italian Seasoning. Cook with the lid on for 10 minutes, stirring often
- Increase the heat to high, add in the remaining chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Once at a boil add the acini de pepe pasta and meatballs. Lower to medium heat and cook for 10 minutes until pasta is almost cooked.
- Add in the chopped spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the soup from the heat and ladle into bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired and enjoy.
Notes
- Pasta - If you don't happen to have Acini di pepe (the small pearled pasta) on hand you can use pearled couscous, orzo pasta, or even ditalini.
- Meat - Use high-quality meat for the meatballs. The better the quality, the better the taste.
- Meatballs - To save time, you can use frozen meatballs instead of making your own.
- Broth - If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can use vegetable broth instead.
