Kale, turkey meatball, white bean soup

 This soup is healthy and even more perfect if you are feeling sick or run down! Packed with vitamins and cheesey little meatballs! 

You will need:

For the meatballs:

1 lb of ground turkey

6-7 cloves minced garlic

Salt and pepper

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

4 tablespoons milk 

Few tablespoons chopped parsley

1 egg

For the soup base:

2 1/2 boxes of low sodium chicken broth

4-5 cloves minced garlic

Olive oil 

Salt and pepper

Red pepper flakes

1/2 bag of Kale

1-2 cans of cannelloni (white beans) drained and rinsed! 

1 cup Parmesan cheese 

Mix all the meatball ingredients together. 

After you have mixed everything, form into mini meatballs. 

Next step. You can bake or brown. I was hungry so I decided to brown the meatballs quickly in olive oil. But you can just as easily bake on 400 to brown. 

Few tablespoons of olive oil, this isn't to cook through! Just brown on each side!

Set aside 

Now for the soup!

In the pot you will be cooking the soup, sauté 4-5 cloves of minced garlic in a little olive oil. Right before it starts to brown, add all the chicken stock. 

Add about half bag of kale. 

Add some salt, pepper, dash of dried red pepper flakes and a cup of grated Parmesan cheese. 

Add the meatballs and the drained and rinsed beans. 

Bring to a low boil. Let cook, covered for about 30-35 minutes. 

Serve and enjoy your healthy soup!
