Best Ever Italian Wedding Soup

This is my daughter’s favourite meal. It ranks right up there with pizza and this just in, pizza is every teenager’s favourite food. That’s why I love this Italian Wedding Soup recipe. It’s a crowd pleaser. This recipe may contain affiliate links as a service to my readers. I receive a small commission from purchases made. What’s to Love About This Recipe? The way we make it Italian Wedding Soup is low sodium and high on healthy fibre. I load mine up with kale. Love kale for a lot of reasons, but basically it’s good for my family, so I add it to all the things I can. Then, we take the rest of the batch of kale and often make healthy kale chips for a snack. Easy Soup for Dinner Italian Wedding Soup is super easy to make. Starts with the homemade meatballs. That’s actually one of my daughter’s favourite parts, getting her hands right in there with the eggs and the breadcrumbs and the messy meat. She’s a sensory seeker, so the meatball recipe part is fun for her and sort of oddly soothing. Genuine Italian Wedding Soup is often made with tiny meatballs that are pork and/ or beef. I opt for lean ground chicken always because it is cheaper at the grocery store. We have, in fact, tried, beef and pork and chicken and the kids prefer the chicken meatballs, so I recommend that as an option. Variations on a Favourite Soup Some people load their Italian Wedding Soup up with vegetables, including carrots and many use spinach instead of kale. We use a variety of noodles depending on what’s available at the grocery store. Orzo sometimes works for us only, because it is readily available. Recently, we finally found the tinier noodles though, so the last batch we made this week was perfect in my opinion. Noodle Recommendations That last time we used Acini Di Pepe, and they were just right. You can buy those small noodles here on Amazon via my affiliate link. Only mentioning it right now because to be honest these are very challenging to find in grocery stores, especially right now. Orzo pasta is less traditional, but also gives a little more weight to the meal. So, be cautious how much you add as it can easily soak up all the broth if you add these too soon, or get too excited and pour too many in. We actually make this meal all year round and I have my crock pot permanently on my counter because I get that thing loaded up for dinner at least once every two weeks, if not more. There’s nothing easier or more appealing as a cook than loading it up and letting the aroma of garlic or random spices fill the house all day long. Plus I love being able to leave the crock pot sitting all day long as opposed to the 4 or 5 pm panicked dinner frenzy. Recommended Materials I like this crockpot for all my crockpot meals here. These Fiesta Bowls are my favourite bowls for everything here. They are pretty and durable too. Check out all of the gorgeous colours. This Italian Wedding Soup is healthy and delicious. Here’s another tip: we make a double batch of meatballs and we make them pretty small, so that we can freeze half of the batch and use them the next time we have a craving for this yummy soup. What’s Your Favourite Soup? Hope you enjoy it. Please note that while this states it takes 7 hours that is because you front load the preparation in the morning and put it in a crockpot for the rest of the day. My favourite meals are often crockpot dinners.
