A cozy and delicious turkey meatball and rice soup that reminds you of Italian wedding soup. Easy to prepare, packed with nourishing ingredients like vegetables and herbs, perfect for a comforting meal.
1: To start the soup, add the 2 tbsp of ghee (or oil) to a large stock pot over medium heat. Once hot, add diced onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2: Add the broth and rice to the pot, stir, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer for 35-40 minutes.
3: While soup is cooking, combine all meatball ingredients (besides avocado oil!) and form into mini meatballs (about 22 meatballs).
4: Add avocado oil to a pan over medium heat, then cook meatballs for about 5 minutes until browned (they will not be completely cooked at this point).
5: When the soup has been cooking for 35-40 minutes, add the meatballs and kale to the pot and cook for 7 more minutes.
6: Stir in lemon juice and serve.
