Nice evening for Italian Wedding SOUP.

This evening, unlike many evenings (due to long evenings at work) I decided to make an easy dinner. Turned out to be tasty..AND it's only less than 150 calories for a cup & a half! {but of course indulge!!!}


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb uncooked ground turkey breast 
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp dried bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano 
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 cups fat-free chicken broth
  •  2 cups escarole, thinly sliced (I used spinach instead)
  • 1/2 cups onion, sweet-variety, thinly sliced 
  • 1/3 cup shredded carrots (I didn't use carrots)



  • In a medium bowl, combine turkey, egg white, bread crumbs, cheese, oregano and garlic powder; shape into 3/4-inch balls.

  • In a large saucepan, heat broth to boiling; stir in escarole, onion, carrot and meatballs. Return soup to boiling and then reduce heat to medium; cook at a slow boil for 15 minutes. Soup is done when meatballs float to the top and escarole is wilted. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of soup and 5 to 6 meatballs per serving.
