Chicken And Egg Soup With Little Veal Meatballs Recipes

CHICKEN SOUP WITH TINY VEAL MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a 10-quart soup kettle. Add the garlic and saute for a minute, then add the veal and brown on all sides. Add the chicken wings and four quarts of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, skimming the top from time to time.
• Add the onion, bay leaves, celery, carrots, salt, peppercorns and dill. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for one hour or until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove the veal and save for making the meatballs. Strain the soup through a fine sieve. Cool and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When preparing to serve, skim the fat from the surface of the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat and gently drop in the tiny meatballs. Cook for 15 minutes.
• To serve, pour the soup in individual bowls. Place three meatballs in each bowl, garnish each with one-half teaspoon of fresh salmon caviar and watercress leaves.

FAMOUS HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP WITH MEATBALLS - ITALIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Rinse chicken and clean vegetables.
• Cut the tops off the carrots and remove onion skin but keep whole.
• Place chicken, vegetables, bullion, tomato sauce and enough water to cover in a large stock pot, covered, over high heat until it boils.
• Reduce heat and tilt lid to let soup simmer about 4 hours.
• Strain fat from top of broth.
• Carefully remove vegetables into a bowl to let cool.
• Carefully remove chicken, it's HOT! and let rest while you strain the broth through a metal strainer into a smaller pot.
• Mix all meatball ingredients together in a large bowl, being careful not to over-mix. In a large saucepan, add two or three generous ladles of chicken soup broth.
• Form small meatballs and cook in soup broth simmering until cooked, about 10 minutes. Add to strained broth.
• While meatballs are cooking, slice carrots and celery, and shred or slice chicken and add to strained broth.
• Now, I put some noodles into the bowl and add a ladle of soup on top and top it with grated cheese. (We're Italian. Cheese goes on everything.).
• I do not add the noodles to the soup directly because they tend to soak up all the broth , which make it difficult to eat as leftovers. This recipe makes enough for two nights for my family of 5. I freeze half for another time.

CHICKEN AND EGG SOUP WITH PASTINA

Steps:

• Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, the broth, 4 cups water and the juice of 1 lemon; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the pastina and simmer until the pasta is cooked and the soup thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken; when cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bone and shred into bite-size pieces.
• Remove the soup from the heat. Whisk the juice of the remaining lemon with the whole eggs and yolks in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually whisk a ladleful of the hot soup into the egg mixture, then stir the warm egg mixture into the soup and return to medium-low heat. Cook until creamy, about 1 minute. Stir in the shredded chicken, spinach and dill, and season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls; garnish with feta, if desired.
