No wedding going on around here, I am anxious to eat this soup tonight for dinner. It’s a quick and easy soup to put on the dinner table. Keep in mind that this soup only has a few ingredients, you need tasty pizza sauce and your best tasting meatballs. If those are available then you can count on a over the top tasty Italian Wedding Soup. A comfort food, fast meal for tonights dinner. This soup should be made and eaten within a reasonable time, the noodles will soak up the sauce in no time. And best of all, it taste great. I used a small pasta instead of the shells. Still just as good. This soup came from the Gooseberry Patch. The cookbook can be seen here. Enjoy my friends, and happy cooking Andi
2 (14 1/2 ounce cans) chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup medium shell pasta, uncooked
16 frozen meatballs, cooked*
2 cups spinach leaves, finely shredded
1 cup pizza sauce ( I purchased Amato’s Pizza sauce) available at our local Hannaford’s. Amato’s is a New England Italian Sandwich shoppe *
fresh grated Parmesan cheese
My feelings are, our food is only as good and tasty as the ingredients we use. With just a few ingredients in this soup you need good tasting meatballs and pizza sauce. This recipe is a make and eat meal. If left for any length of time, the noodles will soak up the liquid. * I made my own small meatballs, the recipe is below. You can also buy them premade.
Bring broth and the one cup of water to a boil in a large saucepan, add the frozen meatballs and the pasta. Return to a boil and boil according to package directions for the shells. About 7-9 minutes. Do not drain, add the shredded spinach and the 1 cup of pizza sauce. Stir and cook for about 1-2 more minutes. Serves 4 I added my meatballs along with the spnach and the pizza sauce.
I used the following recipe to make my own meatballs for the Italian Wedding soup, I made the 16 meatballs small then baked. With the leftover mix I made larger meatballs and will freeze for another dinner.
Homemade Meatballs

dizzle the meatballs with olive oil before baking
Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix well. Make into the size meatballs you want. Bake on parchment lined baking sheets. I baked at 350 degrees.
