For the Meatballs:

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil.

  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until fully cooked through.

For the Soup:

  • In a large dutch oven or pot over medium high heat, add the olive oil to warm up until glistening. Add the shallots and garlic to saute for 1 minute.
  • Deglaze with the white wine, then reduce heat to medium to cook for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the alcohol.
  • Stir in the Better than Bouillon Premium Chicken, tomato paste, and butter.
  • Once the butter has melted, stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the grated parmesan and salt to taste. Add the baked chicken meatballs.
  • If desired, stir in the spinach to cook for a few minutes, as well as cooked pasta prior to serving.
