Love is in the Air

Okay, well, maybe not exactly. But this Italian wedding soup is so quick, easy, and yummy, you'll surely love it.

Bring 2 quarts of broth to a boil (I used 1 quart vegetable, 1 quart chicken). While waiting for the liquid to get hot, season 1 pound of ground turkey breast with salt, pepper, dried herbs of your choice, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and a little grated parmesan cheese. Combine the ingredients and roll the turkey into tiny meatballs. (Tip: rinse your hands in cold water during the rolling process so that the meat doesn't stick to your hands.) Drop them gently into the broth. Add Israeli couscous (or orzo, or better yet, whole wheat orzo) and fresh spinach. Season the pot with a little more salt, black pepper, and a dash of hot sauce. Let the ingredients cook until the meatballs are done (white in the middle).

Serve in a bowl with an extra grating of parmesan cheese, and you're good to go. Now don't tell me you're not in love.

Note: If you have a little extra time, saute the meatballs in a little olive oil until they are golden brown on all sides (hmm...how many sides does a circle have, anyway?...). This way the meatballs have a crunchier texture on the outside and a nice color.
