Parmesan cheese to top soup with
optional
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs and mustard and add about ⅛th cup of water. Mix well so the mustard is well dispersed.
In a medium bowl, combine meat mixture, breadcrumbs and onions and mix well.
Roll meatballs into 1 inch balls.
Heat oil in a saute pan and fry meatballs. Makes sure to turn occasionally. Cook until meatballs are cooked through.
Set aside meatballs.
Add chicken broth to dutch oven (or a large pot) and bring to a slow boil.
Carefully add back meatballs. Cook for about 5 minutes to help ensure meatballs are cooked through.
Add tortellini, following package directions to cook through.
Lastly, add spinach. It only takes about a minute or two for it to wilt and it's ready.
Add Salt and pepper to taste.
I LOVE grated parmesan cheese on top but that's totally optional!
