The BEST Italian Wedding Soup! Filled with homemade browned meatballs, fresh veggies and tiny bits of pasta. Total comfort food any day of the year!

Italian Wedding Soup

oz lean ground beef

oz pork

fresh hearty white bread crumbs*

parsley

oregano

parmesan

Salt and black pepper

olive oil

carrots

onion

celery

garlic (, minced (1 1/2 Tbsp))

(14.5 chicken broth

dry acini de pepe

oz fresh spinach (, chopped)

For the meatballs:

Add beef and pork to a large mixing bowl. Add in bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, parmesan, egg, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

Gently toss and break up mixture with hands to evenly coat and distribute. Shape mixture into very small meatballs, about 3/4 inch to 1 inch and transfer to a large plate.

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the meatballs and cook until browned, turning occasionally (to brown on 2 or 3 sides), about 4 minutes total.

Transfer meatballs to a plate lined with paper towels while leaving oil in skillet. Repeat process with remaining meatballs (note that meatballs won&#x27;t be cooked through at this point, they&#x27;ll continue to cook through in the soup).

For the soup:

While meatballs are browning, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onions and celery and saute until veggies have softened about 6 - 8 minutes, add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.

Pour in chicken broth, season soup with salt and pepper to taste and bring mixture to a boil. Add in pasta and meatballs, reduce heat to light boil (about medium or medium-low).

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until pasta is tender and meatballs have cooked through, about 10 minutes, while adding in spinach during the last minute of cooking. Serve warm, sprinkle each serving with parmesan cheese.

A comforting Italian wedding soup recipe! A flavorful marriage of healthy ingredients like tender turkey meatballs, spinach, carrots, and tortellini pasta.

Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs

parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)

Italian parsley leaves (finely chopped)

carrots (¼-inch dice)

celery (¼-inch dice)

unsalted chicken broth

cheese tortellini

baby spinach

black pepper (as needed for seasoning)

Set oven rack to the center position and preheat to broil.

Line a large sheet pan with foil and grease with olive oil. Set aside.

In a medium bowl combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, oregano, garlic, black pepper, and salt.

Roll turkey meatball mixture into 2 tablespoon-sized balls (about 1 ¼-inch in diameter). Recipe makes about 20 to 22 meatballs.

Evenly place meatballs onto the greased sheet pan.

Broil meatballs for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Meatballs

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large heavy-bottomed pot.

Add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add ½ teaspoon salt, stir and cook another 2 minutes.

Add chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the meatballs and cook 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-high and add pasta. Cook for 7 minutes or according to manufacturer&#x27;s instructions. Turn off heat.

Add the spinach and stir into the soup until wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.

Serve soup topped with grated parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.

Soup

This Italian Wedding Soup can be made on the Stove Top, Crock Pot, or the Instant Pot! Make it with homemade meatballs, or use frozen meatballs for an quick and easy dinner idea!

½ lb. ground beef (80% lean)

pork

egg (beaten)

Parmesan cheese (finely

garlic (finely diced)

parsley (roughly chopped)

salt & pepper

carrots (diced)

celery (diced)

garlic (minced)

chicken broth ()

Italian seasoning

salt/pepper

acini de pepe pasta, (uncooked)

spinach

Gently combine the meatball ingredients, don’t overwork the meat, we want tender meatballs.

Roll the meat into 1-inch balls.

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Brown the meatballs in batches for 2-3 minutes. The inside of the meatball will finish cooking in the soup.

Remove the meatballs and set aside.

Add the onions, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.

Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute.

Add the chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the meatballs and pasta.

Simmer for 10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.

Stir in the spinach.

Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese and serve!

Stove Top Method

Gently combine the meatball ingredients. Don&#x27;t overwork the meat.

This Crock Pot allows you to brown the meatballs on the stove top first. I recommend this as the brown bits left on the bottom of the pot transfer lots of flavor into the soup.

Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and browned meatballs.

Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Add the acini de pepe and cook on low for 30 minutes.

Stir in the Spinach.

Top with Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and serve!

Crock Pot Method

Set the Instant Pot to saute mode and add the olive oil.

Brown the meatballs in batches for about 3 minutes, until all sides are brown.

Remove the meatballs from the pot and add the onions, carrots, and celery. Saute for 5 minutes, until softened.

Add the garlic, saute for 1 minute.

Add the chicken broth. Run a silicone spatula along the bottom of the pot to release the brown bits, his helps mitigate the burn indicator that we tend to see with Instant Pots.

Add the Italian seasoning and meatballs.

Close the lid and seal the valve. Pressure Cook for 5 minutes.

Flip the quick release valve and allow the steam to escape.

Add the acini de pepe and press the saute button. Cook for 9 minutes.

Stir in the spinach, garnish with fresh Parmesan and parsley, and serve!

Instant Pot Method
