Ingredients:

Serving

2 large eggs, divided
2/3 cup long- grain white rice (cooked )
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp lemon peel, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 quarts de-fatted chicken broth
3 quarts spinach leaves, rinsed and drained (about 1 lb.)
salt and pepper

Directions:

In a bowl, beat one egg to blend.
Add rice, beef, onion, lemon peel, lemon juice, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix well.
Put flour on a rimmed plate.
Shape meat mixture into 1-inch balls, rolling each in flour as formed; shake off excess.
Set balls slightly apart on a sheet of waxed paper.
In a 5 to 6 quart pan over high heat, bring broth to a boil.
Add meatballs; reduce heat, and simmer just until no longer pink in the center (cut to test), about 15 minutes.
Add spinach leaves and stir gently until wilted, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with a fork to blend.
Pour beaten egg into soup, stirring constantly.
Ladle soup into wide bowls.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
