Ingredients

1 tablespoon Fustini's Garlic olive oil
½ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon salt
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
3/4 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half and then in ¼” slices
3 cups spinach, packed

2 lbs ground chicken
½ cup onion, grated
2 eggs, beaten
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients for meatballs, set aside.
In a large soup pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté, until onions are translucent about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add chicken stock, fennel seeds, salt, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and bring to a simmer.
Using your hands, form golf ball-sized meatballs, about 2 tablespoons each and carefully drop them into the pot. Note: Because there are no breadcrumbs in this meatball mixture, it is quite wet. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
Allow soup to simmer for 20 minutes or until the temperature of the meatballs registers 165°,F with an instant-read thermometer. Stir in spinach until just wilted and serve!
