Italian Wedding Soup
Description
The soup begins by simmering chicken stock to make the base. Mini meatballs are formed from a mixture of ground beef and pork, almond flour, egg, garlic, fresh basil and parsley, and Parmesan cheese. These tender meatballs cook gently in the simmering broth.
Diced carrots add mild sweetness and texture, while spinach leaves soften into the broth near the end of cooking. Scrambled eggs are drizzled into the hot soup, forming delicate ribbons that add richness and visual interest. The flavor is rounded with salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan.
This soup works well as a starter or a light meal, with ingredients that provide a balance of protein, vegetables, and herbaceous freshness. Parmesan rind can be added while simmering to deepen the broth flavor. The soup is best served hot, garnished with extra cheese and parsley for added aroma and taste.
