Italian Wedding Soup

chives

sage

garlic,

lb 85 beef

Parmigiano Reggiano

bread crumbs

salt

olive oil

yellow onion, diced

carrots,

celery,

chicken broth,

beef

water

dry white wine (optional)

bay leaf

white pepper (okay to use black pepper)

pasta

oz fresh spinach, stems

Parmigiano Reggiano,

Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set an oven-proof roasting rack over top. Spray the rack generously with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, beat the egg with the chives, sage and garlic. Add the remaining meatball ingredients and mash with your hands until evenly combined. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place on the prepared rack. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Meanwhile, start the soup. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beef broth, water, wine, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, uncovered, at a gentle boil until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes (or according to package directions). Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach and meatballs. Simmer for a few minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the meatballs are warmed through. Ladle into bowls and serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano. 

<strong>Freezer-Friendly Instructions:</strong>  The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months but wait until you reheat the soup to add the pasta.  Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until simmering, add the pasta, and cook until the pasta is tender.

Loved this recipe!  Easy to make and full of flavor!
I decided to use ground turkey rather than beef / pork mixture using the Sam's seasonings.  Turned out really nice!  Yum!

You are absolutely correct! This soup was ALWAYS served as first course at family weddings!

Yes!!!  This soup has ALWAYS  been first course at all our family weddings!!!

This was amazing!  The only thing I did differently was bake the meatballs in a 350 oven on a sheet pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.   I think that is easier.

The only thing Ann Marie will  loose is all those bits of burnt meat flavor,  by not sauteing your veggies in the meat ball pan!! That's usually a huge part of your recipe! Great recipe...I'm definitely putting it to the test this weekend.Thanks.

This is so good!  I do have one suggestion for those with kids who do not like spinach.... chop it finely.... it helped my kids eat their entire portion.

This is the kind of recipe I love. It's tasty and it's healthy. That can be a really hard combo to come by.

Thank you for the description of the soup first. This looks like such a great dish for these cold winter days.

it's been so long since i had italian wedding soup. loving the flavors and how easy it all comes together!

This is my favorite soup at our local grocery store (The Nugget)! But, your recipe looks ten times better! I can't wait to make this for myself-yum!

This soup is absolutely positively the first course at all Italian weddings that I have ever attended!!!

One of my favorites! I've been craving soup lately and could go for a bowl of this beautiful soup!  Looks so delicious!

This looks and sounds like such a delicious soup! How interesting that its name has nothing to do with weddings!

We would have never through to add meatballs to a broth - sounds amazing!

This is the BEST Italian Wedding Soup recipe I have ever tasted.

My favorite soup recipe. We have this on a regular rotation!

It's been so cold, I've been craving soup on repeat! This recipe is so perfect for winter nights! Thanks you for this delicious recipe!

I use unsalted chicken broth  because I have heart disease,  I saute  my veggies in lots of garlic, basil ,oregano ,parsley, celery, onions ,and not to much olive oil, also when I cannot find the pasta  I use white beans I also cook my meatballs in an air oven. . I also use Italian saugage  once in a while. Great soup. This is the best when you just want a good cup or bowl of soup along with some garlic bread.

This is soooo good. I'm in Southern California, so it's still in the 80's here, but I was in a soup mood. I am GF so I used GF breadcrumbs in the meatballs, added extra carrots and celery and skipped the pasta. I cooked everything in a dutch oven and forgot to drain the beef fat from browning the meatballs. The extra fat gave the soup extra flavor. I liked it so much, I ate 3 bowls for dinner and I'm looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow night.

this looks incredible!!!!!!!! perfect for a heart weeknight dinner when its freezing out.

This recipe is super! It ticked all of my boxes for a fully rounded family meal - thank you for the inspiration!

This is one of the best winter soup recipes. It really is a meal on its own and so warming and comforting! I made it all in my Dutch oven!

Seasonal and absolutely heart and delicious! Loved this thank you!!

A cool story behind the name of the soup, when I read the title I thought "that's interesting a special soup for Italian weddings." Nutritious and filling and wholesome.

I posted a day or two ago but my reply is not listed here so I will try again.  This is a very good flavorful hearty recipe for Italian Wedding soup.  I love it.  
There is one small thing that I would like to mention for those of us who are counting calories.  
The nutritional information that is listed can not possibly include the meatballs.  The calorie count would be quite a bit higher.
I will just plan my day different on the days that I have this soup.  Because once again I want to stress how good it is.

I shared this recipe on a Homemade Italian Recipe site on FB!  The response was amazing!  I had made the soup, but I added some salt to the meatballs and I used full sodium chicken broth.  After all, I’m Southern.  ?  Thanks for adding an alternative pasta.  I used orzo.  Couldn’t find the  other pasta in the coastal Georgia town that I live in!  
This was a fabulous, “company worthy” soup!  I was also very proud to share it with a friend that had recently had surgery!  Thanks so much.  You have gained a fan!

this soup looks so good! I am going to make this tonight but plant based.

Italian Wedding soup is one of my all time favorites and this recipes sounds amazing!

Pure comfort, especially with this changing weather. I love Italian wedding soup but have never tried making it myself, so you've completely inspired me. Thank you!!

This soup is superb - absolutely delicious, and so warming and comforting. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

This Italian soup looks so scrumptious and so comforting. I can warm up to this soup anyday!

I made this yesterday and will make it again.  I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect and very easy to make.  My husband had seconds so it’s definitely going in my “saved” recipes!

I have made this recipe several times. I always add some shredded chicken breast to it and top it off with some shredded parmesan cheese. It is very yummy!

Made this as a surprise for my Sicilian bf's birthday, HE LOVES IT !!!
Followed the recipe exactly, except:
I bought pre-made, uncooked pork meatballs and mixed them with a package of ground turkey to cut the sodium. Then made smaller meatballs with the mixture.

Also added fresh cracked pepper.

Oh yum! Now this is my kind of comfort food. :)

my absolute favorite soup - never knew the story - but it's delicious! Thanks for sharing recipe!

My whole family absolutely loved this soup! Fantastic recipe!

This is one of my favorite soups! I used frozen spinach just to make life easier, and it turned out soooo tasty! It's the perfect comfort food on a chilly night.

this is seriously my most favorite soup! im always craving it!

Beth... Your Italian Wedding Soup recipe is by far the absolute best we've ever made.  We will be following yours from here on in. Very flavorful! Thank you so much!

💯Ustasından tam ölçülü ✅Balıkesir yöresinden ETLİ ÇORBA tarifi Düğün çorbası

This hearty soup is signature Italian American. With a beautiful and delicious combination of savory mini-meatballs, mildly bitter escarole, a rich broth, hints of parmigiano cheese, its full-bodied flavor will not disappoint!

eggs, (beaten)

milk

breadcrumbs ((See NOTE below.))

grated cheese ((See NOTE below.))

yellow onion, ((about ½ large onion))

Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Tbsp minced garlic

tsp black pepper

red pepper

tomato paste

onions

chicken

parmigiano cheese rinds

salt and black pepper

Pecorino Romano cheese, (grated (for serving))

Prep all ingredients according to specifications above.

Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs &amp; milk together, then immerse the breadcrumbs in it &amp; ensure they are fully immersed. Let this mixture sit for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to get soaked by the liquids, then add the next 7 ingredients and mix together until well-combined. Gently fold in the ground beef and mix so that all is well-combined. Do not overmix! Form mixture into small meatballs, about .4-.5 ounce each, and arrange them on a large plate or sheet pan and set them aside until you are ready to add them to the soup. (See NOTE below.)

Add the oil, garlic and crushed red pepper to a large pot or Dutch oven (at least 7 quarts) over medium-low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the garlic starts to brown. Then, increase the heat to medium, add the tomato paste and caramelize it for about two minutes.

Add the onions, carrots and celery and continue to sauté until they are mostly softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Carefully pour the broth into the pot, add the parmigiano rind, cover and bring the broth to a light simmer.

One-by-one (so as to not damage/cause the meatballs to clump together) add the meatballs to the broth while gently stirring. Slowly bring the broth back up to a simmer, while stirring occasionally, and ensure that the meatballs are set.

Once the meatballs are set (cooked), gently add the escarole to the broth in batches as the escarole leaves are gradually wilted in the broth.

Partially cover the pot, then simmer the soup until the escarole leaves are tender. Season with salt and black pepper.

Serve piping hot with a generous sprinkle of grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Buon Appetito!

This classic soup is always a crowd-pleaser!

sausage

parmigianno regianno

celery ((about two ribs))

leek (chopped (white and light green parts only))

white wine ((optional))

chicken bouillon ((such as Better than Bouillon) (optional))

baby spinach (sliced julienne (measure before slicing))

grated parmigianno regianno

minced fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil sprayed with non-stick spray (or coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil).

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Using your hands is often best to get everything uniformly mixed.

Form small meatballs no larger than 1" across (you can use a scoop), placing them on the baking sheet as you go. This recipe makes 30 to 40 meatballs, depending on how small you make them.
