Add chard; sauté 1 minute or until wilted. Stir in wine and next 4 ingredients (through tomatoes). Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. To prepare meatballs, combine turkey and next 6 ingredients (through egg) in a bowl. Shape meat mixture by tablespoonfuls into 30 meatballs. Add meatballs and chickpeas to soup.

Ladle soup into bowls, and sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Tip: If your family loves this recipe as much as ours does, make a double batch on the weekend, and use it all week long.
