This Big Happy’s Italian Wedding Soup
serves 8
1 lb ground beef
2 eggs beaten
1/4-1/2 C breadcrumbs
1/4 c grated Parmesan (or less, I like more)
1 tsp dried Italian herb mix
1/2 onion, chopped very fine
64 ounces chicken broth
1-2 C water
2 or 3 large handfuls of raw baby spinach
1/2 box your favorite pasta (I used mini-bowties)
2 or 3 carrots, peeled and diced
In a small bowl combine beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian herbs and onion. Form them into small meatballs and set aside.
Pour the broth and water into a large stockpot and bring it to boiling. Add the meatballs slowly, mixing very carefully. Boil for 1 minute. Add the spinach, pasta and carrots and give it a good whirl, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the carrots and tender and meatballs cooked through.
Where do you get the herb mix or do you make it?
I used bottled but you can make your own from basil, oregano, parsley, etc.
