Sharing how to make the most delicious Italian wedding soup with sweet & spicy Italian sausage meatballs, bites of pasta and vegetables, and a flavorful stock. I didn’t grow up as a massive fan of this soup, so I was excited to make a version I really loved. And this hit all the marks! My family loves it, and I hope yours does too. 🙂

what is kosher salt?
This looks fantastic! I've never made this but with the cold weather, I think I need to give this a try. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Growing up in Brooklyn and Staten Island I attended many Italian weddings and I NEVER had this soup. Not until I moved to Pennsylvania did I ever even hear about it. I don't dislike it and yours looks DELIZIOSO but I didn't have it in NY. Have a Blessed and Beautiful Christmas 🎄 🎅🧑🎄🫂✝️
I love the soft spoken voice ❤
I feel some recipes videos are loud and unpleasant tones! I love the classical music tone at times!
We're late with uploading this week, but I hope you enjoy this one! The meatballs could totally be smaller😅 I thought those were pretty small, and then realized they really weren't. But my family loves this soup, and I hope yours does too☺ Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!🎄❤
You are just adorable! You are genuine. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
This looks perfect Bethany, Merry Christmas!
looks delish! Can you also add chicken?
Bethany, thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories of my Mom. She often made this soup around the holidays.
I hadn't thought of Italian Wedding Soup in ages, and seeing your video brought back those memories.
I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a festive Holiday. 🌟
Miss Bethany! My Wife and I were just talking about this soup last week. I am going to make this for her parents. Her Mom is full Italian. I hope that it brings back memories of my Wife’s Noni’s soup.
Thank you for this. 😃👍🏽
I agree that a little wine always adds some great results. Sometimes I even add it to the food 😇😉. I loved to plant carrots in my garden and planned to let some of them winter over in the ground. Living in Colorado, they always froze over winter. I would pull them in the spring and they would be so sweet they almost made your teeth hurt. We used to make a salad with that pasta and we called it Frog Eye Salad. That soupe looks amazing.
Hi there Bethany. Great soup recipe video! I'm so glad that you made it clear that the soup has nothing to do with an Italian wedding!!! I was wondering how am I going to get invited to an Italian wedding to enjoy the soup!😀 BTW, you look great in your Garden Video. You made that garden look really exquisite!
I love soup season. That looks yummy!
P.S. I can see you've been feeding Drew really good. He looks like he's been eating your delicious foods and pumping iron every day! Lucky guy.😃. Looking very good Drew.
Almost similar to Tuscany soup ; very healthy and soothing this time of year
This looks so good. I've heard a number of chefs say that you eat with your eyes first. I agree with that. I think presentation is very important. The presentation here is spot on, like with the beef stew in one of your recent videos. I know I will have to try both recipes.
I haven’t had this in years. This is stuff is delicious and I’ve actually never known how to make it so Sunday it’s wedding soup time! YuMM Bethany!
My version of this soup has always been great, but I'm going to try your version because it just looks much better. I hope you guys have an awesome Christmas!
I was never a fan of cooking raw meatballs in sauce or broth. I have seen recipes of tiny meatballs without breadcrumbs too.
❤❤❤❤ ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL 😍 DISH ANGEL!!😇 ❤😂 THE LOVE 💕 OF YOUR RECIPES IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!❤❤😂😊
✨✨✨
You can also brown the meatballs in a hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes so they get browned on all sides. Do this in the winter to warm up the kitchen. In the summer, just fry them. (don't fight the a'c).
Ditalini is good too, or, maybe orzo. How about barley?
You are quite a talented chef, Bethany. Escarole is not easy to find, but kale is.
Thanks for the nice video. I hope you both, your families & friends all have a good upcoming holiday.
Nice. I have had this before. Very tasty.
Good things that unlike weddings, soup is not becoming obsolete, lol.
A very merry Christmas to you & your family. Love your recipes. 🎉
This looks delicious! My family always made this soup for Christmas, I am making my shopping list now to try your recipe! Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
Hi Bethany! This looks so good and I can’t wait to make it.
Wishing you, Drew, Hudson and your parents a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy New Year! 🎄🎊
Your Wedding Soup looks amazing!! For as long as I can remember our family has had this soup every Christmas Eve. My Italian mother made it for many years then my daughter in law took over. Now my granddaughter carries on with the tradition. It’s interesting that you would post your wonderful recipe at this time right before Christmas. Thank you!
Oh my gosh! Looks great! What time's dinner!? 😁
