<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is a recipe I’ve made countless times over the years. It’s quick, easy and perfect when you want something hot and tasty in under an hour. The original inspiration recipe was from AllRecipes.com. I love that the original poster said “No wedding needed”! Lol! Since then, I have made changes and upgrades to the soup recipe, which I am sharing here with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have never eaten a bowl of American Italian Wedding soup before, you have just got to try it! It’s a delicious soup typically filled with meatballs, veggies,and pasta. I love that the beef meatballs are small and cooks up in a flash. You can use either homemade stock or ready made stock for this recipe. Adding a sprig of fresh herb really adds something to the soup. My preferred herb is oregano from my garden, but feel free to substitute with your favorite herb. Also, adding pasta to the soup really makes it hearty and you can eat it on its own or yummy with bread like the cottage loaf<\/a> or easy no knead bread<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is very forgiving and you can season it the way you like it. I constantly make adjustments to the recipe based on what I have in my fridge and pantry. There are really 3 parts to the soup. First, you make the meatballs. Next, you prepare the broth, and finally, cooking the whole thing together with the veggies. It’s a quick and tasty soup to make from scratch and an excellent recipe to have on your cooking rotation. Without further ado, let’s make soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
