Would you believe me if I told you I don’t eat tomatoes? I don’t like them at all. Never did—until I once happened to have tasted a tomato-based soup. Since then, I’m hooked. (I still won’t eat them raw,  though). This soup is hearty and healthy and the perfect comfort food on a cold night. You can add chicken “matzo balls” or shredded chicken for a meal in one.

Ingredients

Light and Hearty Minestrone Soup

Chicken “Matzo” Balls

  • 1 pound dark ground chicken or turkey

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Prepare the Soup

1.

Sauté onion till clear. Then add the celery and the carrots. After a few minutes add the rest of the vegetables and sauté for eight to 10 minutes.

2.

Then add tomato sauce, Splenda, water, and seasonings.

3.

Cook for one-and-a-half hours till all the vegetables are soft.

Prepare the Chicken “Matzo” Balls

1.

Combine chicken with spices and mix until incorporated.

2.

Make golf-ball-size chicken balls and drop into a pot of boiling water. Cook for 30 minutes. I like to cook this in a separate pot to keep the vegetable soup pareve.

3.

Serve with the minestrone soup.

Can I make this soup parve by using white beans instead of chicken balls?
