Italian meatball soup with sweet potatoes and escarole

In Italy, meatballs are almost never served on pasta. Known as polpette, they are much more often served en brodo, Italian for "in broth." Here, sweetly bitter escarole and fresh dill play off the warming spices seasoning the meat. The soup comes together quickly, but tastes like it simmered for hours.

Chef’s Tip To get dinner on the table as quickly as possible, in Step 1, don’t bother peeling the potatoes or carrots (the peel has much of the flavor and nutrition, anyways). Be sure to slice the vegetables thinly, then start cooking the potatoes and carrots while you prep the garlic.
