"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
In a large pot add a few tablespoons of EVOO and add the celery, onions, and carrots. Sauté a few minutes until the veggies start to soften. Add the chicken and beef broths. Wash the escarole well and chop. Add to the pot. Cover and cook 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile mix the meatball ingredients and roll in very small balls. Add the meatballs to the pot and cook 15 minutes. Bring the pot up to a full boil. Beat the eggs and Parmesan cheese together and add to the pot-stirring well.

Personal Notes:
Escarole can be very sandy, so be sure to wash it very well. It is easier to chop it raw before adding it to the pot. Some people add chicken and/or pastina to the soup. Vi always said that was the "cheap" way to make this soup. But it will still be good. I suggest having an extra broth on hand in case you would prefer it to have a little more broth.
