ground turkey meatball soup

Turkey Meatball Soup

Meatball Soup

As the rain commeth down, and Fall under our toes, I am feeling more like soup these days. I did not grow up eating home made soups, or a lot of soup in general, but I want my kids to have home made soups in their lives, and so I continue to try out different soups to tempt their little palates. It’s a comfort thing.

This is a tried and true one that is quick, easy, tasty and the kids can help roll the meat balls. I like to make the meatballs very small as small (little bites) seems to be more appealing at times for my kids. You change change up the meat to chicken if you don’t have turkey, same with the stock. It’s all good.

Turkey Meatball Soup
Author: Adapted From Rachael Ray's Yumo
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp oil
  • ½ small onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1-2 stalk celery, chopped & minced
  • 4-8 cups chicken and/or turkey stock
  • 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
  • 5 tbsp parmesan
  • 5 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp poultry spices (thyme, sage, oregano)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped if fresh
  • ½ cup orzo
  • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Put your oil in a pan on stove. Saute onions, carrots and celery for 5-10 minutes until softened slightly. Add your stock and bring to a boil. Drop heat a little and let simmer while you start rolling your meatballs.
  2. In a bowl mix the ground bird with the cheese, bread crumbs, poultry spices, egg, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Roll into 1 inch balls (or smaller) and place on a plate.
  3. Once all meatballs prepared you can then start dropping them directly into the soup.
  4. Meanwhile boil your water for your orzo. Once boiling salt it like the sea and drop in your orzo. Cook until Al dente. Drain, put back in pot and add a little butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Dish your soup into your bowl and add as much orzo as you enjoy.
  6. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if you wish and serve immediately.

  • This Cherry Kiss Hot Chocolate is from @eatdrinkblock and available for #YYCHotChocolateFest!
.
In the first photo the incredibly tasty booze soaked cherries fell in to the hot tub aka hot chocolate. The second photo shows the cherries pre-hot tub.
.
The hot chocolate is missing the marshmallow as they apparently ran out of marshmallows. Hopefully this means they are selling lots of hot cocoa for @yychotchocolatefest!
.
Try this beverage with or without alcohol and partial proceeds go to Calgary Meals on Wheels.

  • Cooking from @donna.hay's #moderncooking #cookbook this month.
.
Made these Burnt Butter and Salted Maple Sticky Buns for the #rainydaybitescookbookclub challenge. Admittedly I took the photo before adding the salt (whoops)! The dough is easy to work with and I let both rises go longer than advised.
.
The glaze for these buns goes both on the bottom and again poured over the buns when they come out of the oven hot. My family loved them and ate most of them as they were a little on the sweet side for me.
.
Lots joining in on this challenge today. Follow the hashtag, #rainydaybitescookbookclub to see everyone's photos for todays challenge!

  • -28 with the wind chill is no deterrent when it comes to trying hot chocolate during @yychotchocolatefest. This is the Frozen Hot Chocolate Gelato from @fiascogelato and it is so delicious that you completely forget its ahem frozen and -28 out side.
.
It's available until February 28th but do check their opening hours before you go as they are closed Sundays.

  • Some days it's just a simple basic Tomato Sauce.
.
We use this sauce in lasagna, spaghetti sauce, chili, soups, casseroles, meatballs - even cabbage rolls.
.
Do you make your own sauce?!

  • Throwing back today to that time in #Lucerne Switzerland. We yodeled, we took in a Folklore show, wandered the town sight seeing and of course had swiss fondue. We also spent time in #Innusbruck and visited the #Matterhorn.
