Italian Wedding Soup

Again...another amazing recipe from Cooking With All Things Trader Joes! Chris actually made this one...it was delicious and he said it was really easy to make!

20 frozen Party Size Mini Meatballs, about 1/2 the package or use 1 bag frozen Turkey Meatballs, Italian Style Meatballs (Chris used this one) or Meatless Meatballs
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped or 1 cup bagged Freshly Diced Onions
1 garlic clove, minced or 1 tsp jarred Crushed Garlic (we used 1 frozen garlic cube)
1/2 cub diced carrots or halved baby carrots
4 cups (one 32oz carton) Organic Free Range Chicken Broth - Low Sodium
3 cups fresh Chard of Many Colors (Swiss Chard) or spinach (if using frozen spinach, use only 1 cup - this is what Chris used)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (we didn't use this - didn't have any)
1/4 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

• Chris did everything in our big Caphalon stock pot
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Add chicken broth and meatballs. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add Swiss chard (or spinach) and boil for 5 minutes longer.
• Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
