ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP - ROCCO DISPIRITO

A CLASSIC SOUP FROM ROCCO'S SHOW MELTING POT EPISODE - MEDITERRANEAN WEDDING CELEBRATION
Takes 30 minutes, start to finish. 6-8 servings
 

Ingredients

8 cups homemade chicken broth
3/4 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork
3 eggs, plus 5 eggs
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 cups grated Parmesan, plus 1 cup
2 medium heads escarole, cleaned and chopped

Directions

In a separate pot over medium heat, bring the broth to a boil. In a separate large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, 3 eggs, bread crumbs, basil, parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Mix well and form into bite-size balls. Drop the balls into the broth. Add escarole into broth. When meatballs rise to the top, they are cooked, about 6 to 7 minutes. When escarole is wilted it is done. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 5 eggs with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Pour this mixture into the soup, stirring continuously, until the egg is cooked.

this soup is delicious, although the meatballs rose when ready they still had a red tinge to them which scared me. So I boiled it again to be sure they were cooked through. I plan on using meatball with veal next time. The soup looks its best when kale and the egg mixture is added when ready to eat.
