The story behind
Despite its name, this soup isn't traditionally served at weddings; instead, it celebrates the harmony of its ingredients. As seen in the image **Italian Wedding Soup.png**, the dish features small, browned meatballs, tender spinach leaves, and carrot pieces in a translucent broth. Small pasta (such as acini di pepe or orzo) and a touch of shredded parmesan cheese on top complete this classic and appetizing presentation.
Instructions
-
1Prepare very small meatballs by mixing meat with egg, breadcrumbs, and spices. Lightly brown them in a pan before adding them to the soup.

2Heat the chicken broth in a large pot and add the carrots.
-
3Once the broth boils, add the pasta and the browned meatballs.
-
4Simmer over medium heat until the pasta is al dente.
