Ingredients

For Meatballs

For Soup

  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cups of chicken broth
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the ground meat, egg, grated parmesan cheese, pepper, parsley, garlic, bread crumbs. Mix, but don't over mix as this will result in tough meatballs.
  • Make 1 to 1 ½ inch meatballs, place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • While they sit, sauté garlic and chopped onions in olive oil in a large pot until translucent. Add chicken stock or chicken broth and bring to a soft boil.
  • Add meatballs one at a time. Do not stir. Let sit while the soup is at a gentle boil for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove the meatballs and place them in a dish. Taste the soup to see if it needs any more seasoning.
  • Whisk room temperature eggs and then add your egg mixture slowly to the pot, stirring, as the soup boils gently. You've just made stracciatella for your egg drop soup.
  • Return the meatballs to the pot and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from hot burner and let site for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley
