Italian Wedding Soup

If you haven't made it before this is a good soup that can be altered pretty liberally off the basic recipe. (You must have the carrots, the greens, the meatballs and the pasta.)

I put some stock (about 4 pints) in a large pot and start adding:
cut up carrots - about 3
finely cut kale or spinach or chard might work too - about 4 cups
little meatballs (make your own or use pre-made - cut in half or quarters if they seem too big)
leftover cut-up chicken pieces
sage
parsley
miso

Get it all boiling and when the kale and carrots are done add a cup or so of orzo or pastina (little pasta). Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Even my "I don't like spinach and kale" guy enjoyed this one.
