Turkey Escarole Soup With Farfalline Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6 quart Dutch oven heat oil on medium high until hot. Add carrots, onion and garlic; cook 4 minutes or until onion softens, stirring frequently. Stir in broth and water; heat to boiling. Stir in escarole and orzo; heat to boiling.
• Reduce heat to medium low; simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes or until escarole and orzo are tender. Stir in turkey and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes until turkey is heated through. Serve with parmesan.

Steps:

• Whisk egg and 2 tablespoons water in medium bowl to blend. Mix in breadcrumbs; let stand 5 minutes. Add turkey, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; gently stir to blend. Using wet hands, shape turkey mixture into 1 1/4-inch-diameter meatballs. Place on baking sheet; cover and chill 30 minutes.
• Bring 8 cups chicken broth to boil in large pot. Add carrots and orzo; reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered 8 minutes. Add turkey meatballs and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in chopped escarole and simmer until turkey meatballs, orzo, and escarole are tender, about 5 minutes longer. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Rewarm over medium heat, thinning with more broth if desired.)
• Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle the 1/4 cup of Parmesan on top and toast for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the escarole, 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Add the chicken Stock and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook until the escarole is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add the turkey and cook just until heated through. Spoon the soup into bowls, add the Parmesan toasts and serve with additional cheese.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the turkey, egg white, parsley, onion, half of the garlic, salt, and pepper and fluff with a fork. Shape into balls the size of walnuts (about 24 meatballs).
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the meatballs until cooked through, crispy, and golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a soup pot over medium-high heat, add the oil, remaining garlic, and shallots and cook until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer. Add the thyme, meatballs, and pasta and return to a simmer. Stir in the escarole and salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into 4 deep soup bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Make soup:
• In a large heavy saucepan cook onion and rosemary in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened. Add escarole, stirring to coat with oil, and cook, covered, 1 minute. Add broth and orzo and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
• Make meatballs while soup simmers:
• In a bowl combine well all meatball ingredients except oil and season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. In a heavy 9-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown meatballs about 3 minutes (meatballs will not be cooked through).
• Add meatballs to soup and simmer, partially covered, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
