Italian Egg Drop Soup with Mini Meatballs


I made something similar to this, in the past, but the meatballs had rice in them and the seasoning was different.  

I am sure, I am not the only one who does not want to repeat recipes but after a certain amount of time, without even knowing it, finds it has to happen.  I found out about this one, when I went to get my photo and saw a picture and grabbed it.  My mistake  of course, was that it was a different soup.  Below is the photo and you probably can see, why I confused them.  If you look closely, you can see the rice in the meatballs and even the way, I broke the egg down is different.



Italian Egg Drop Soup - adapted from Rachel Ray


Ingredients:



4 cups vegetable  broth
1 pound ground turkey
Salt and pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons grated onion
1/2 cup corn flake crumbs
4 eggs, divided ( 1 & 3)
2 tablespoons  parsley, finely chopped
1 bunch scallions, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice



Method:




     
Bring the stock to a simmer.


Season the chicken with salt, pepper and nutmeg and combine with the onion, garlic, corn flake crumbs and 1 egg. 

Roll mini balls and drop them into the soup. 

Simmer the meatballs in the broth for 10 minutes.



Mix the remaining 3 eggs with the, parsley, salt and pepper. 

Stir into the soup. I drop about a teaspoon of egg mixture into hot broth.

 Take the soup off the heat, then add the scallions and lemon juice.
