    List of Ingredients




    Italian Wedding Soup


    6 (10-1/2-ounce) cans condensed chicken broth
    6 cups water
    Meatballs, optional (see recipe below)
    4 cups fresh chopped escarole
    3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    2 eggs, beaten

    Meatballs for Italian Wedding Soup:
    1/2 pound lean ground beef
    1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
    1 egg
    1 small onion, minced
    1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    Recipe




    In a large soup pot, bring the chicken broth and water to a boil over high heat. If meatballs are desired, carefully add them to the broth and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until no pink remains.

    Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the escarole, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the cheese then gradually stir in the beaten eggs, forming strands. Serve immediately.

    Meatballs:
    In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients; mix well then shape into 1-inch meatballs using a 1/2-teaspoon measure.

    Add the meatballs to the soup and cook as directed above.
    NOTE: For a nice finishing touch, sprinkle each bowl with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
