Turkey Meatball Soup with Orzo and Escarole

December 13, 2021 By Liza Cannata Leave a Comment

El nina has certainly hit the Bay Area.  Today was the forth strait day of rain in a row and I had the luxury of not leaving the house until 2pm.  After spending the majority of the morning searching for kids rain gear on Zappos, I decided to make a big pot of this turkey meatball soup.  My mom found this recipe in a Bon Appetit magazine a few year ago while waiting for the dentist. Since then, it has become a staple recipe for both of us.  One pot; complete with veggies,  protein and carbs, it is a foolproof meal for the whole family.  And the best part is that you only have one pot to clean after dinner!  To make it gluten-free, I use Edison Grainery gluten-free orzo.  Enjoy!
