Ingredients:

Serving

2 slice soft sandwich bread, crusts removed , torn into small pieces
1/2 cup half-and-half or milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
8 oz ground pork
2 tbsp grated onion
2 clove minced garlic
salt and black pepper
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
8 oz ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 minced garlic cloves
1 quart good-quality, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 quart good-quality, reduced-sodium beef broth
2 15- oz can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
8 oz fresh chard or kale, stemmed, washed and chopped (about 4 cups)
grated parmesan cheese, for garnish

Directions:

To make the meatballs, stir bread and half-and-half together in large bowl until combined. Add cheese, pork, onion, garlic, about 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the baking powder, oregano and crushed red pepper. Stir well. Add the beef and stir gently, just until well combined.
Moisten hands with water, then use a heaping teaspoon of meat mixture to form each meatball. You should get about 32 small meatballs. These can be made a day ahead; cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
For the soup, put the oil in a soup pot. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic; sauté about 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the broths and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs and return to a simmer. Add the beans and chard or kale. Simmer until meatballs are cooked through and the chard or kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed. Serve each bowl garnished with Parmesan cheese.
