List of Ingredients




Day1:

Use a fresh chicken (from meat market,not grocery store if
possible)
and make chicken stock.

Cut cooked chicken meat into 1 inch pieces and store,
covered,
in the fridge.

Store strained chicken stock in fridge overnight also
covered.

Make meatballs with your favorite recipe, but roll them very
small so that they end up cooked about the size of a grape.

After they are cooked,store covered in fridge.

Make croutons Day 1 also.

Wedding Soup Croutons

12 eggs-beaten
12 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1 cup chopped parsley
Black pepper-a few dashes
1 teaspoon baking powder
Parmesean cheese-grated about 1 cup

Mix all ingredients until smooth-grease a jelly roll pan and
smooth mixture onto it.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25min.

Cool, cut into 1 inch cubes-when completely cool store in
air tight container.

Day 2:

2 medium potatoes,diced 1 inch pieces
2 carrots,diced into 1 inch pieces
2 celery stalks,sliced include leaves
1 medium onion,chopped
1 cup little pasta (tiny stars are a favorite )

Take the stock out of the fridge- scoop off any fat that has
congealed on the surface and discard.

Heat the stock in a large pot there should be at least a
gallon of stock.

When stock is boiling, add vegetable and pasta, lower heat
and cook about 20 min until veggies are tender.

Add chicken and meatballs.

A note about meatballs: some people like only a few rolling
around in their bowl,some people expect a ball with every
bite, so add whatever you like.

To finish this soup add a couple of handsful of clean, fresh
spinach leaves torn in half-let cook the last 60 seconds or
so.

To serve-ladle into bowls and float croutons on top.

This recipe makes 8 servings of about 2 cups each .

If really seving for a wedding 1 cup servings are more
appropriate,
as the real feast is not the soup.

Hope this recipe is helpful-but I have to admit I have never
written it down before and do not personally measure any of
the ingredients.

As you can see-it's called Wedding soup because you don't
make this every week.
