Wedding Soup

This meatball soup is made with ground pork, greens, pasta, and other ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups rich chicken broth
• 8 ounces escarole, cleaned free of the tough stems, and cut into long strips, or use Swiss chard or spinach
• 1/2 lb. ground pork
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 tbsp. minced shallot
• 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
• 1 egg yolk
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup cooked pasta, tossed in oil to prevent sticking
• 2 eggs, beaten

Preparation:

Bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the escarole, and simmer while you prepare the meatballs. In a small bowl, combine the pork, garlic, shallots, parsley, and the egg yolk. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 3/4-inch meatballs. Drop the meatballs into the broth and simmer until they are cooked, about 5-8 minutes. Drop in the pasta, and taste to adjust the seasonings. Turn off the heat. Begin to stir the soup in a clockwise motion and slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs, so it will form strands.
Serves 6.
