Here is my version of Italian Wedding Soup.

Simple. Delicious.

So yeah. There’s going to be a wedding this year. My sister’s!!! I’m honored to stand beside her as the matron of honor, and I’m thrilled that Charlie gets to be a ring bearer!

And there’s going to be an Italian at the wedding. My sister’s fiance is Italian. Dark headed, dark eyed with a last name that’s got a “rolling R.”

And while I’m not sure it’s going to be a full fledged Italian affair with breaking glass and la borsa, it is a wedding and there is an Italian!

So I made this soup in honor of them…the happy couple!

Italian Wedding Soup

Filling, flavorful and easy!
Prep Time20 minutes minutes
Cook Time30 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 2 slices bread (made into bread crumbs, about 1 cup)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups homemade chicken stock
  • 3-4 cups water (depending on how soupy you like it)
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 10 oz box frozen spinach
  • 1 cup pasta I used broken rotini
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, bread crumbs, eggs and Italian seasoning into 3/4 inch diameter meatballs.
  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, add the olive oil and brown the meatballs on all sides. Add the 2 cups of homemade chicken stock and 3 cups of water. Feel free to add water as needed.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, and frozen spinach. Bring to a rolling boil. If you plan to let it simmer, reduce heat to low.
  • Add the pasta noodles about 12-14 minutes before you'd like to serve the soup. Do not let them overcook, or you'll end up with Mushy Italian Wedding Soup!
  • Serve as is, or with a slice of bread or side salad.

    I have always heard about this soup but never tried it. It looks so healthy and good…..I think for us this would be a great soup on a rainy, chilly spring day with a crusty loaf of bread or a grilled sandwich along side…yum!

    Congrats to your sis and her “Italian” hubs-to-be!
