Okay, if you haven't already noticed; I 💖 soup! My cousin Jim's wife is unmistakably, without a doubt full blown Italian (yes awesome accent and all) a few years back the family would get together and watch "Scarface" "The Godfather" and marathons of the "Sopranos" and each time, Maria would make this soup. And every time (being the corny family we are) we would all say "Say hello to my bowl of soup" each time she dished it. We're losers I know. But get a bunch of Brazilian, Portuguese and Italians together... well... Ya know. . lol. ENJOY!!!!

Steps

1

In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients, and form your mini Meatballs.
2

Place your meatballs on a baking sheet and cook in oven @ 400°F for 20 min.
3

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large soup pot and add your onion, garlic, carrot, dried herbs and salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent.
4

Add your white wine and cook for another 2 min.
5

Add your chicken broth then allow the liquid to come to a boil. Once it's boiling, add your pastini.
6

When the pastini is about 1/2 way cooked, add your meatballs to the pot and cook until the pasta is about 90% cooked.
7

Finally, add your chopped fresh spinach and juice of half a lemon. (It looks like a lot of spinach at first, but it'll cook down)
8

Allow everything to cook throughly (mainly the pasta)
9

Serve with fresh parmesan shavings (sadly I didn't have any today) and some crusty Italian bread along side.
