italian_wedding_soupWinter and spring is soup season so we hope you have been enjoying some of the great Italian soup recipes we have been adding for you to try. Most of the Italian soups we grew up were not chunky so no hearty steak and potato at our house. We had Lentil Soup, Little Ball Soup (Pastine) and Italian Wedding Soup which has gained some notoriety as a result of Restaurant chains like East Side Mario’s. This soup contains a little pasta, some broth and mini meatballs and is a unique blend not typical of North American soups. Here is our version of  Italian wedding soup…buono appetito

6 cup(s) low-sodium chicken broth
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Read more…
