Who doesn't love hot soup on a cool and rainy fall day? We love all kinds of soup, but Wedding Soup is a favorite at The Old Parsonage. So early Monday morning, I started the mini meatballs and the chicken broth. And by 10 am, the soup was simmering.
If you'd like my make-shift recipe, here it is. Although I don't have exact quantities. Use your judgement, that's what'll make it your own.
Italian Wedding Soup
- 2lbs Beef/Pork/Veal Mixture
- Bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Crushed Garlic
- Parmesan Cheese
Combine all of the above and make mini meatballs - size of pennies. Bake or fry till cooked.
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 onion
- Crushed Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- Approximately 64 oz of Chicken stock - I make my own, but any good brand name will do
Bring to a boil then add
- 8 oz of Acini de Pepe - a tiny round pasta
Clean 2 heads of escarole. You'll find this green in the lettuce section of your market. To clean the escarole, tear the leaves apart and wash them in cool water. It is very sandy, so do this very carefully or your soup will be gritty. Shred the escarole by cutting it into fine strips. Add to the pot of soup.
You may need to add additional water if it gets too thick, but we like it thick. Simmer and enjoy!
What's you favorite homemade soup?

Sounds delicious!
I make Chicken Soup - old family recipe passed on from Mark's grandmother. It is very similar to your recipe (must be an Italian thing :) ) WHen I change it up, I add pasta, and fresh spinach. We have it every Christmas Eve, and I probably make it once a month all Autumn, Winter and into Spring. It's just good comfort food! YUM!
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Leann, Thanks for visiting my Pink Saturday post. I would never have otherwise found you! The soup sounds like a winner. Ours is very similar but with cabbage and not meatballs, but just ground round and with Rotel tomatoes. Nothing better than homemade soup to say "home". Peace, Mollye
Hi, Leann,
Your wedding soup sounds delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I was hungry for soup yesterday and so I made a big pot of tortilla soup, one of my favorites! Don't you love soup? So easy to make and it always tastes better a day or two after it was first made. Have a beautiful week and thank you for stopping by for a visit at Bunny Cottage. Vicki
Yum, that is one of my favorite soups!
Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by earlier, have a great weekend.

I love most any kind of soup. However, I guess my favorites are vegetable and tortilla soups. Yours sure looked something I could really enjoy. I am glad you left me a comment and visited a minute.

I haven't had that soup in years! When I lived in NYC I had an Italian friend who used to make this (and numerous other yummy things) all the time. Yummy!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, it's very nice to meet you! I love the name of your blog!

This looks yummy. I've never heard of it before. My favorite homemade soup is one my Nana throws together with ground beef, veggies, canned tomatoes, salsa, etc. it's a good way to clean out the fridge, it's easy and delicious.
