Preparation
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a big soup pot on medium low heat. Add onion, a dash of salt & pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
Add entire bag of spinach to the pot, stir to coat with oil, add a couple more dashes of salt and pepper and allow spinach to wilt and cook ~3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile whisk eggs and parmesan cheese together in a small bowl. Set aside.
When spinach is cooked, add chicken broth to pot and bring to a boil. Add pasta (I used acini di pipi) and cook until al dente ~7-8 minutes. Add mini meatballs and cook for an additional minute, or until heated through.
Stream egg and cheese mixture into soup and stir gently in a circular motion. Allow egg to cook for an additional minute.
Serve and enjoy!
**If making your own mini meatballs, drop them in the chicken broth with the pasta and let them cook together for the same amount of time.
