Italian Wedding Soup image

Italian Wedding Soup is my very favorite soup. I always thought you had to go to a lot of trouble to make it, but turns out, that's not so. No need to make your own chicken broth.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb extra lean ground beef (or a bland of ground beef, veal and pork)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c dried bread crumbs
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried basil
3 Tbsp minced onion
3 qt chicken broth
3 c fresh spinach
1 1/4 c pasta (orzo, stars or small shells)
3/4 c diced carrots (i use fresh, but frozen would be fine)

Steps:

  • 1. For the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the beef, egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil and onion. Shape mixture into 3/4 inch balls and set aside.
  • 2. In a large stockpot, heat chicken broth to boiling; open the spinach bag and using a clean pair of scissors, just grab a few handfuls of fresh spinach and give it a couple of chops. Stir in the spinach, pasta, carrots and meatballs. Return to boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring frequently at a slow boil for about 10 minutes or until pasta is al dente, and meatballs are no longer pink inside. Serve hot with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add some chopped carrots and celery to the pot.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The meatballs are juicy and flavorful, and the broth is rich and satisfying. I like to add a little extra spinach and Parmesan cheese to mine.
