Recipe Introduction


"A large batch of traditional Italian Wedding soup. This soup offers plenty of meat, carbohydrates and veggies. Perfect with Italian bread. For the pasta, I use acini di pepe, but you could use any small shape you desire, like shells or orzo." Original recipe yield: 12 servings.


List of Ingredients




1 (48 fluid ounce) can chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 onions, chopped
2 cups chopped carrot
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into chunks
3 ounces dry pasta
Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe



In a large pot over medium heat, combine the chicken broth, spinach, onions, carrots and celery. Mix well and allow to simmer.

In a separate large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs and egg and mix well. Form mixture into 1/2 inch diameter meatballs and carefully drop them into the soup.

Put chunks of chicken breast into the soup and reduce heat to low. Allow the soup to simmer for 1 hour. Add the pasta 30 minutes before serving and season with salt and pepper to taste.
