Steps
- 1
Place the chickpeas in a mesh bag. Put the vegetables in another mesh bag, and the chopped potatoes in a third. This makes it easier to remove them from the pot later.
- 2
In a very large pot, bring water to a boil and add the chickpeas (soaked overnight), the bones, and all the meats except the two sausages.
- 3
When the water returns to a boil with all the ingredients, skim off any fat that rises to the surface. Lower the heat and simmer for two hours.
- 4
Add salt, then add the carrots, leek, onion, celery, turnip, and cabbage.
- 5
Continue simmering the broth, adding more boiling water if needed.
- 6
To make the meatball mixture, place the egg, salt, pepper, and chopped garlic and parsley in a bowl. Beat together, then add the ground beef and pork.
- 7
Mix and mash together, adding the pine nuts and breadcrumbs. Knead by hand until well combined.
- 8
Form 6 large meatballs and shape them like croquettes. Coat them in flour.
- 9
After about 30 minutes, remove the chickpeas and all the meats from the pot except for the hen, which takes longer to cook.
- 10
Also remove the cooked vegetables. Add the large potato pieces and the meatballs to the broth.
- 11
Make sure there is enough broth, adding more boiling water if necessary. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
- 12
Finally, add the two sausages (prick them with a fork first so they don’t burst) and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- 13
Carefully strain the broth and use it to make soup with the pasta shells. To serve, arrange the vegetables, potatoes, and chickpeas on a platter. On another platter, place all the meats, meatballs, and sausages.
