Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a bowl, combine all Chicken ingredients and mix gently. Roll into very small meatballs, about inch in diameter.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all Broth ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Gently add the meatballs to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Add the Acini di pepe pasta to the pot and cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the chopped Escarole during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, until wilted.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
