    italian wedding soup

    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!

    Go ahead. Grab a spoon.

    Reach on through the screen. Just a little taste!

    Italian Wedding Soup

    Filling, flavorful and easy!
    Prep Time20 minutes
    Cook Time30 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!
