Italian Wedding Soup
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 15 min
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the meatballs:
3/4 pound ground chicken
1/2 pound chicken sausage, casings removed
2/3 cup fresh white bread crumbs
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
3 tablespoons milk
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the soup:
2 tablespoons good olive oil
1 cup minced yellow onion
1 cup diced carrots (3 carrots), cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3/4 cup diced celery (2 stalks), cut into 1/4 inch pieces
10 cups homemade chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup small pasta such as tubetini or stars
1/4 cup minced fresh dill
12 ounces baby spinach, washed and trimmed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the meatballs, place the ground chicken, sausage, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Pecorino, Parmesan, milk, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl and combine gently with a fork. With a teaspoon, drop 1 to 1 1/4-inch meatballs onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. (You should have about 40 meatballs. They don’t have to be perfectly round.) Bake for 30 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.
In the meantime, for the soup, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and saute until softened, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock and wine and bring to a boil. Add the pasta to the simmering broth and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Add the fresh dill and then the meatballs to the soup and simmer for 1 minute. Taste for salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1 minute, until the spinach is just wilted. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle each serving with extra grated Parmesan.

You need salt with all that cheese?
😋
We finally get to see 2 seconds of the finished product…. FOOD NETWORK YOUTUBE EDITOR— YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks really good
This is not the recipe of the Italian wedding soup (minestra maritata napoletana) it's the Italian American wedding soup.
Grandmom made it better . It's called Holiday soup
It needs orzo or some kind of pasta
It gets even better as it sits in the fridge. After 2-3 days it's perfect.
You're gonna give back what you stole too
LOVE Ina!
This is so heartwarming!! Love how the content pairs with this story telling ❤🎉
I like this. It seems like for a special occasion like a spring wedding. I will remember this dish for the right event.
She is a clueless idiot, that is all I'm gonna say, the Hamptons deserve you, trust me,,,,,,,,
whose wedding? who is getting married? 💍
Happy Anniversary ❤❤
Once again, Ina, you're not letting your viewers know that OTHERS make this recipe and use ingredients which are conducive to their cultures. In other words, please include the caveat that YOUR recipe is made with YOUR decision for the meat ingredients. But, of course, who am I to notice…………….
YOU FORGOT THE PASTA MAAM…
