This easy Italian Wedding Soup <\/strong>recipe is a perfect bowl of warm comfort food, great for those cooler months! Made with homemade meatballs, fresh vegetables, cannellini beans, warm broth, and the option to pile lots of parmesan cheese on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A classic Italian wedding soup recipe is full of so many great flavors, like garlic, homemade Italian seasoning<\/a>, seared meatballs, and a fresh herb bundle<\/a>. Serve this over the classic acini de pepe pasta<\/a> or, if you can’t find it, orzo will also work! The best way to enjoy this recipe is to serve over the pasta so that you don’t lose all your broth by the pasta soaking it up to cook. Just a little tip from us to you! This recipe has definitely become a family favorite. We love making a batch of this easy soup recipe on a Sunday night for dinner so that we can enjoy leftovers all week long!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n If you love soup as much as we do, you definitely need to checkout all of our Best Soup Recipes<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This process begins by mixing up the meatballs. First, place all meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to fully combine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n For best results, use clean hands to fully combine the meat mixture. It just works the best!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Now take about 1\/2 – 1 tablespoon of that meat mixture, at a time, and form into small meatballs. We love using a cookie dough scoop for this to keep them uniformly sized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grab a large dutch oven, bring it to a medium heat, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and then sear the meatballs on all sides. This may need to be done in batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this step, you are simply searing the outsides. They do not need to be fully cooked. Set them aside on a plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, grab a large kitchen knife and your favorite cutting board to prep your fresh vegetables and onion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it’s time to deglaze the large pot. Add a splash of the chicken broth and use a spatula to scrap the cooked bits of meatballs off the bottom. Then add the butter to melt and the garlic to cook until fragrant. Next, the onion, carrots, and celery to sauté for about 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour in the rest of the chicken broth, salt, Italian seasoning, lemon zest, white wine, cannellini beans, herb bundle, kale, and the meatballs along with any juices that have settled on their plate into the soup pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give it all a mix, cover, and let it all simmer on medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, cook the acini de pepe pasta according to the directions on the box and serve the soup over this pasta once it is fully cooked. Finally, top the soup any way you want!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, the toppings! We highly recommend that you top this soup with a large dollop of basil pesto and a generous amount of freshly grated parmesan cheese. It is just so good! On the side you can serve it up with some buttered slices of sourdough bread, crusty bread, or even a few slices of easy grilled bread<\/a>. It is simply what dreams are made of!!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
