Italian soup with herbs
Description
A light yet very hearty Italian soup that takes just an hour to prepare! The most important step is making the meatballs—I'll explain how to do this below. The salad greens add a special flavor, while the grated "Parmesan" completes this harmonious combination. Italian "wedding" soup with greens is a great alternative to the usual first courses we're accustomed to. Serve the soup hot.

Step 1
1. The meatballs in this soup are the main ingredient. First, we need to cook couscous or small Italian pasta in the form of dumplings. Boil until half-cooked and drain in a colander. Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a separate container.

2. Add ground chicken, egg, finely chopped herbs, bread (previously soaked in water or milk), and finely chopped onion. Add salt and spices to taste and mix well. If you add couscous, it will make the meatballs more crumbly.

Step 3
3. Roll the meatballs into the same size. Use the broth in which the pasta or couscous was cooked, and we'll add the meatballs to it. Bring the broth to a boil, then add the meatballs. Cook until they begin to float.

4. I had some pasta left over (I did this on purpose) and added it when the meatballs were almost done. Fresh herbs and chopped salad are added at the very end.
