Preparation

  • Cook orzo into non-salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. Do not cook to much, since we'll have to add it to the soup later on.
  • Fry leeks into butter. Set aside.
  • Pour chicken broth in a large soup marmite, cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer.
  • Crumble bread with hands. Make meatballs by mixing bread, pork, egg, garlic, onion powder, pepper, parsley and parmesan. Form meatballs of half an ounce (15 ml (1 tablespoon). Slice half a cup of meat (60 ml) into four and form meatballs with your hands. If your enough patient, form all meatballs with your hand.
  • Set carefully each meatballs into simmering broth, cover and bring once again to a boil. Lower heat, cover and cook 15 minutes or until meatballs are well cooked.
  • Add small spinaches, leeks and orzo. Melt spinaches and heat pastas without completely cooking.
  • Serve soup into bowls and spread with parmesan.
