Introduction

I just made this soup for my kids when the temperature outside is -10F. It's very comforting and warm and delicious. Have low calories, suits any diets. Try and please let me know. I also made orzo pasta separate for my daughter, while she loves pasta and add it to her bowl and she loved it. But I personally don't want extra calories in mine, so that's an option for you too.

Tips

Because this is very low calories soup you can eat it as much as you want. I am on 1000 calories a day diet and I can have as much as I want.


Directions

1.Place turkey, egg, salt, pepper, and chopped onion in bowl and mix all together. You can add any spices you like, like oregon, or parsley or even chicken cube. I avoid any extra calories, so I didn't.
2. Meanwhile, boil water in big pot half way full. When the water boils, make small meat balls (less then quarter size) from your turkey mix and keep them boiling for a few minutes. After they all floating, take them all out, discard the water. I do it to remove extra oil from turkey, if you like your broth then keep it, it can be your soup base.
3. Separately make brown rice based on package instruction.
4. In a small pan add olive oil, and carrots. fry until crispy.
5. Chop celery, brussels sprouts (in quarters), red pepper, kale.
6. Take the big pot that will hold your soup and fill with 8 cups of water (or keep the one that have the broth), boil it. If soup end up too thick you can add more water or broth.
7. Add meatballs, 2 cups of rice, and all the chopped veggies, bring to boil and cook on slow heat for 5 min. Add all necessary spice (salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, cilantro)

Enjoy.
