This turkey meatball and orzo pasta soup is such a comforting meal and reminiscent of Italian wedding soup!
Good morning, everyone! I'm back for yet another Sunday Supper Movement event. Today's theme is COMFORT FOOD SOUP AND STEW RECIPES, which means I'm about to have at least a dozen new recipes to try on Wednesdays. I am such a happy camper because although I have plenty of soup recipes already, I tend to gravitate towards a handful of recipes.
Today, I decided to share this meatball and orzo soup. I think that my family liked it so much because it reminded us of Italian wedding soup.

What you need:
For the meatballs:
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
- Salt and pepper
- Dried parsley
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup orzo pasta
- 5 oz. baby spinach
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan
- Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Then add egg, Parmesan, salt, pepper, parsley, and ground turkey. Mix with hands to combine, but don't over mix.
- Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch sized meatballs.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add half the meatballs and let cook until browned on bottom, then flip and brown on the other side. Remove and set aside. Just brown them, don't worry about cooking them all the way through.
- Repeat with other Tbsp. olive oil and remaining half of meatballs.
- In a large stock pot, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium to medium-high heat.
- Add celery, carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes.
- Add broth and then bring to a boil.
- Add meatballs and orzo pasta. Return to a boil.
- Then lower heat and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and orzo is tender. Stir occasionally.
- Add spinach to soup and cook, uncovered, until spinach wilts.
- Serve soup topped with Parmesan cheese.
