The weather is cold and all I want is a nice hot bowl of a soup. The best part is that soups can be a great way to get lots of vegetables and eat low calorie. This soup is a one pot meal, you can put rice in the soup or serve it on the side or leave it out. The greens and the chicken meatballs are really hardy enough on their own.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, 1/2 of oil, seasoning, minced garlic and onion, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form into 30, 1 1/2″ meatballs and place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until browned.
- Heat remaining oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Add sliced garlic and onion and cook until lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Add escarole and cook a few minutes, until wilted. Use tongs. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer. Add meatballs, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and extra nutritional yeast if desired.
Thanks, it should be 1/2 the oil.
In the directions, “Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, 1/s of oil, seasoning, minced garlic and onion, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl,” what is the correct amount of oil?
This was unbelievable. Just fantastic. We didn’t need the rice. We didn’t have escarole so I used beet greens instead – came out great.
It is an inactive yeast product that resembles grated Parmesan cheese. You can find it in health food stores.
What is nutritional yeast?
I don’t know if you can find it in Israel, but here it is found in health food stores. It is a deactivated yeast and looks like yellow flakes. It lasts forever so if you can’t find it there you can have someone send it to you.
Yay, you are welcome!!
I can not wait to try this yummy sounding soup. It will be perfect for a cold winter meal! Thanks for includig this in my email:)
What is nutritional yesst and where can you get it in Israel?
