Equipment
Method
- Set oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper
Meatballs
- Place lean ground chicken in a mixing bowl
- Crack 2 medium eggs into the bowl and stir
- Add the bread crumbs (when shopping try to find the bread crumbs with the parmesan or romano cheese and herbs. This makes tastier meatballs
- Stir meat mixture together
- With clean hands roll the meat mixture into small balls (should make close to 100 tiny meatballs)
- Broil on a cookie sheet in oven for about 10 minutes and then remove from heat.
- Freeze half of the meatballs for the next batch.
Italian Wedding Soup
- Saute onion and garlic on the stove in a spoonful of olive oil
- Add two full containers of low sodium broth to the crock pot
- Set crock pot to low for 6-7 hours
- Put onion and garlic mixture in the crockpot liquid broth
- Wash kale and rip into tiny bits, remove as much of the stem and veins as possible. Don't be stingy.
- Add about 50 of your small meatballs
- Add scoop of pesto
- Cook all day in the crock pot
- About 90 minutes before you serve add the noodles and continue to let it cook.
- Check on the noodles before you serve, but they should be completely done.
- Ladel and serve. This amount often gets us each 2 bowls and that's enough for dinner. If you have large appetites, then you could serve this as an appetizer instead alongside a bigger meal.
