Ingredients
- 8 c chicken stock (we prefer low sodium)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp Parsley, dry (or 1/2 bunch fresh, chopped)
- 1 lb fresh greens* (spinach, kale, green cabbage)
- 1 lb meatballs, thawed if frozen
- 4 oz Parmesan Cheese cut into small cubes
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a medium soup pot, add the chicken stock, garlic, parsley, 1/2 of the fresh greens, and 1/2 of the Parmesan cubes. Heat over medium high heat, stirring often, scraping the bottom of the pot to catch any Parmesan that might get stuck.
- Add the remaining greens and cheese as you have room in the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Add meatballs and simmer until they are heated through.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. Serve with crusty bread and extra, fresh grated, Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- *If using bitter greens, blanch separately by adding to salted, boiling water for 5-10 minutes, until tender. Then drain and add to soup. This will remove some of the bitterness.
- This recipe from 2015 was updated in 2017. We made the wedding soup more authentic and easier! Enjoy!
