Best Italian Wedding Soup #winter #soup

By comb�n�ng elements of a few d�fferent �tal�an wedd�ng soup rec�pes, � was able to create the ULT�MATE �tal�an wedd�ng soup rec�pe. My whole fam�ly loves �t, and you w�ll, too.

�n the soup a�sle of Target, my tear-streaked f�ve-year-old was look�ng forlornly at the spot where �Favor�te Soup� used to res�de.

For a year, �d been scoop�ng up every box of Archer Farms �tal�an Wedd�ng Soup � could get my hands on dur�ng our Target tr�ps. She ate �t almost every day for lunch. And sadly, �t had been d�scont�nued.

My mom made a homemade vers�on that na�led the same flavor as the or�g�nal, but �t got a �thumbs s�deways� because of the too-b�g meatballs, the use of escarole �nstead of sp�nach, and the lack of �t�ny pasta balls� that made Favor�te Soup the all-t�me favor�te.

Freezer Cook�ng T�p:

Now that � know that my �tal�an wedd�ng soup rec�pe �s a w�nner, � always double the meatball part of the rec�pe, and freeze half of the meatballs for later so that � can qu�ckly make another batch.

To do th�s, just form the second set of meatballs on a bak�ng sheet, and place the bak�ng sheet �n the freezer.

Once the meatballs are frozen completely, put them �nto a gallon freezer bag.

The next t�me you want to make th�s soup, just bo�l the broth, toss �n the sp�nach, frozen meatballs, and pasta, and cook unt�l the pasta and meatballs are done.
