Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • For the meatballs:
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • For the soup:
  • 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Make the meatballs: combine all of the meatball ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir together. Then, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch-diameter meatballs, about 16. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Start the soup: Bring the broth and garlic to a boil in a large pot or deep pan. Add the meatballs, lower the heat and simmer until cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, slice your zucchinis lengthwise halfway and then spiralize them, using Blade D.
  • Once the meatballs are about done, add in the zucchini noodles and let cook 2-3 minutes or until al dente. Then, whisk the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl to blend and season with salt and pepper. Stir the soup in a circular motion. Gradually drizzle the egg mixture into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin stands of egg, about 1 minute. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve. Finish soup with red pepper flakes and parsley.
