  1. I started this soup by adding carrots, onions and celery, finely diced and sauteed in olive oil. Then I proceeded with the recipe except adding 1/2 c acine de pepe (very small pasta). Very good tasting!
     
  2. Very good! With a little chicken this would be perfect! I like the parmesan and egg rather than the noodles! Thank you so much! It was a big hit! ps meatballs were great!
     
  3. Very tasty, especially with the parmesan added.
     
  4. Absolutely delicious. The pickiest eater will love this. You will be rewarded if you use homemade chicken stock and panfry the meatballs in a little bit of fat(I used a small amount of butter and e.v.o.o.) I added two frozen packages of spinach when soup was boiling because I had no escarole. I also added a little pastina instead of the remaining eggs. The meatballs were so tasty. I have been searching for years for the perfect meatballs(tasty, but plain) to add to my spaghetti sauce. Finally, my search is over. Young and old loved this soup.
     
  5. I just made this tonight. The meatballs are to die for. I would cut the eggs in the broth to three with about a 1/3 of a cup or parm. Just a hint...I used drumsticks and veggies to make my broth. I'll use the left-over chicken for a creamed chicken dish with biscuits for my daughter.

  1. This soup is one of my favorites. But I don't use chicken broth because I use the broth from the boiled escarole instead.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
