A couple weeks ago when we were all snowed in, DC shut down, and no one 
went to work for a week I came up with this yummy lunch. Just start out by preparing any stock and bring to a boil- I had half beef stock and half broccoli in my freezer (perfect combination but use whatever you prefer- mushroom, chicken, et cetera) at the same time I mixed ground turkey with an egg, some breadcrumbs, dried parsley, salt and pepper. I mixed it all together with my hands then rolled them into tini balls. Drop them in (1/2 inch or less) of hot frying oil till they get golden brown. If you don't w
ant to fry, baking is fine too. Once the stock is hot enough, ladle some out in a big bowl with a handful of mini meatballs, some fresh tomatoes and fresh basil. A nice garnish with this is to add some roasted green onions: drizzle a handful of fresh onions with olive oil, broil them till they're crispy, and add as the finishing touch. This is a great Winter (or Summer for that matter) soup that is pretty low fat, has some great fresh flavors and will warm your soul.
