Ingredients

  • Turkey Meatball Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 heaping tbsp grated white onion
  • 1 tbsp finely minced celery
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • Soup Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp each extra virgin olive oil and butter
  • 1 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 4 cups chopped mixed greens like Swiss chard, spinach, and kale
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form into cocktail sized balls. Set aside.

Step 2

Saute the celery, carrots, and onion in the butter and olive oil over medium high heat in a large soup pot.

Step 3

When the vegetables just begin to turn soft, add the meatballs a few at a time and let them saute a little to get well coated in the olive oil and butter.

Step 4

Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cover, turn to medium low, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 5

After the soup has simmered 30 minutes, add the greens, stir well until wilted, and then add the black pepper and lemon juice. Serve in large soup bowls.
