This is one of my favorite soups. I do add hard boiled eggs cut in half at the end. The soup freezes great.

This soup is like a magic trick. The ingredients are standard soupmaking, but the results are nothing but. It is absolutely delicious and it looks as good as it tastes. Adding the egg yolks to enrich the soup was a lightbulb moment for me, making it creamy without cream. I might sub pork for the turkey next time to make the meatballs a bit more flavorful. Oh, you’re gonna want leftover because and it gets even better after a day or two in the fridge.

I’ved been making this soup for over 70 years (I’m now 85), and it’s a classic. There are myriad different versions. Personally, I prefer escarole to kale and beef to turkey, but it’s all personal taste. The basic idea is about the same. I use ditalini instead of pastina, but pasta is pasta. Some cheese in the meatballs is essential, so it’ll never be kosher. My 45-year old daughter makes this almost monthly for her kids, and it’s a favorite with many variations. Use whatever is available. I used to run an office lunch catering business, and this was on the menu at least weekly. If I missed making it for a week, I heard loud protests about it.
