Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs image

We prefer the acini de pepe pasta in this dish, though it is pictured with orzo pasta which works fine and happens to be what I had on hand!

I'm not a huge fan of Italian wedding soup, but this recipe was really good. The meatballs were especially tasty. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of pasta. I used orecchiette, and it didn't really hold up well in the soup.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it's also a very affordable meal. I highly recommend this recipe!

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped spinach to the soup, which gave it a nice pop of color.
