Lemony Kinda Sorta Italian Wedding Soup

Servings: 6

Ingredients
 

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ c italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ tbsp italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste

Broth

  • ½ c diced onion
  • 1 c carrot coins
  • 8 c chicken stock
  • c dry white wine
  • c lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 16 oz gnocchi (we use the pre-packaged kind)
  • 5 oz chard, arugula, kale, or spinach

Directions

  • Mix chicken, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper until just combined, and shape into golfball-sized balls.
  • Sautee meatballs in a small bit of vegetable oil until they have a nice brown crust. Set aside.
  • In the meantime, sautee the diced onions in a stockpot until translucent. Deglaze the pan with ⅓ cup wine.
  • Add chicken stock and carrot coins and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add in the gnocchi and meatballs and cook until the gnocchi has cooked throughout.
  • While the gnocchi is cooking, add the remaining wine, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
  • Stir in the chard, arugula or spinach and cook for another two minutes or so. You want it to still have some body when you serve it.
