The Keto Lady Italian Wedding Soup
Ingredients:
• 1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey
• 1/2 cup pork rinds (crushed, as a breadcrumb replacement) I use PORKING GOOD
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 cups chicken broth or bone
• 1/2 cup chopped spinach
• 1/4 cup celery, diced
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
1. Make the Meatballs: In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken or turkey, crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roll the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
2. Sear the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
3. Prepare the Soup Base: In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the browned meatballs back into the pot along with the spinach. Simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.
5. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
