Introduction
Adapted from Giada's Family DinnersHer recipe calls for escarole, which is not available at my local grocery store, so I used spinach instead.
Also, I didn't have 10 c of chicken broth. I had about 4 c of frozen turkey broth leftover from thanksgiving, that i added to 4 c of chicken broth and 2 c of water.
Giada doesn't add pasta to her recipe, either, but I like it to soak up the juices. Adapted from Giada's Family Dinners

Directions
Stir together onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper and egg. Stir in parmesan and bread crumbs. With hands, mix in ground meats. Using cookie scoop, make 1" (or larger depending on your preference) meatballs.
Bring the broth to a boil. Add the meatballs, spinach and pasta and cook for 10 minutes. If not sure if the meatballs are done, scoop one out and stick a meat thermometer in it; it should read at least 160.
Mix the egg and parmesan and slowly pour into soup, stirring to make thin threads. Cook for about another minute. Salt and pepper to taste.
