Greek Meatball Soup - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef or ground lamb
1 cup finely minced onion
6 tablespoons long grain rice
OR
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or dill
3 eggs, divided
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
6 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

directions

Combine meat, onion, rice or bread crumbs, half of the parsley, the mint or dill, and 1 egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Knead mixture until well blended; form into tiny meatballs 1/2" in diameter.

Boil chicken broth in large saucepan. Add meatballs. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until meatballs are cooked, about 30 minutes.

Beat remaining 2 eggs until frothy; gradually beat in lemon juice; then gradually beat in about 1 1/2 cups hot soup, beating constantly to prevent curdling. (This tempers eggs so they won't scramble when added to soup.)

Beat until thickened. Slowly stir in the egg mixture. Heat through, do NOT allow soup to boil.

Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with remaining parsley. Serve hot.
