1egg,  beaten

1/4teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4teaspoon kosher salt

2tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1pound ground chicken or turkey

2medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

1extra large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

2stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)

2cloves garlic, minced

1/2cup dry white wine

2cartons Swanson® Crafted Parmesan Chicken Brodo (8 cups)

1head escarole, coarsely chopped (about 10 cups)

1/2cup uncooked acini de pepe or ditalini or orzo pasta

_ How to Make It

Stir breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, cheese, salt and black pepper in a 

large bowl.  Add the chicken and mix thoroughly.  Shape the chicken 

mixture into about 25 (1 1/2-inch) meatballs.  Line a rimmed baking 

sheet with parchment paper.  Place the meatballs on the baking sheet 

and refrigerate for 10 minutes.


While the meatballs are chilling, heat the oil in an 8-quart saucepot 

over medium-high heat.  Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic and 

cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.


Stir the broth and wine in the saucepot and heat to a boil.  Reduce the
heat to medium (you'll want the broth to stay at a simmer, not a boil).  

Add the acini de pepe and cook for 6 minutes or until tender, stirring 

occasionally.


Add the meatballs and cook for 8 minutes or until cooked through.  

Stir in the escarole and cook just until wilted.  Season to taste.  Serve 

hot with additional freshly grated cheese.
