Chicken Soup With Mini-Meatballs

• 3/4 lb ground turkey
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup onion, finely minced
• 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 large carrots, chopped
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 1 cup orzo pasta or 1 cup Italian pastina
• 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, washed trimmed and torn into bite-size pieces

1. In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, water, egg, 1/3 cup onion, bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper to taste.
2. Shape the mixture into small 1-inch meatballs.
3. In a large pot, combine the broth, carrots, celery, 1/2 large onion and bring them to a simmer. Add the orzo and let it cook for 5 minutes (pastina takes 2 minutes), stirring frequently.
4. Add the meatballs and simmer them in broth for 15-20 minutes. Then stir in the spinach and simmer it until it's wilted, about 1 minute.
5. (I also have added fresh parsley to the soup when I have it! - about 1/4 cup chopped).
