Minestra Maritata (Wedding Soup) image

I made this soup for a culture summit, for people from all over the world. It was a hit! Have fun sharing it with your friends and family. Feel free to season it any way you like, and serve with different breads from around the world.

Steps:

  • in a medium bowl, combine all meat ball ingredients. roll into 1 inch balls. set aside.
  • in a large soup pot, heat chicken broth on high to a rolling boil. beat eggs together and pour into boiling chicken broth in a THIN stream. (should look like egg-drop soup) be sure to constantly stir to keep the egg from sticking together.

  • remove stems and coarsely chop turnip greens. add to soup and cook for an additional hour. top each serving with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and serve with bread.
