Directions

  1. To make the meatballs:
    1. Add all the meatball ingredients to a mixing bowl and using your hands, mix until well combined. Roll into small meatballs. Set aside.
    2. Put a skillet over a medium-high flame and heat the oil. Fry the meatballs in batches until golden. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
  2. To make the soup:
    1. Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork.
    2. Add a drop of oil to a sauté pan and scramble the eggs over medium-high heat. Crush the eggs using a fork to chop them up small.
    3. Put a large stock pot over a medium-high flame and heat the oil. Add the carrots, onions and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
    4. Add the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs, escarole and egg and bring the pot to a boil once more. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the escarole is tender.
