Meatball Soup is a classic Italian dish that has nothing to do with weddings!

Italian Wedding Soup is the ultimate in Italian comfort food. It's made with chicken stock, carrots, celery, onion pasta and tasty cheesy meatballs. When it rains, and your house is nice and cosy, this is the soup to make. Why a wedding soup? It's nothing to do with weddings, but it is a beautiful marriage of meat and vegetables.
When making this soup, please use homemade chicken stock. You don't have to go all out; it can be as simple as throwing a chicken carcass in a pot of water and simmering it for 90 minutes. You will never achieve the same depth of flavour with bought stocks or cubes.
I would highly recommend doubling the quantity and freezing half. This is the sort of soup you will crave many times once you've tasted it. Knowing there's this soup waiting for you when you come back from a trip late in the day will make your day!
I added provolone cheese for little bursts of flavour; it is optional but recommended. Otherwise, just grate a little more pecorino. You could also use Parmesan cheese.
Use the small pasta you like, anything from Ditalini, cavatelli, fusilli, orzo, pastina etc. If you're going to eat all the soup the same day, you can cook it directly in the pot. Otherwise, cook them separate so they remain nice and al dente.
For the greens, it's best to use escarole or curly endives. They are loaded with vitamins making this soup healthy. The flavour works magically for soups.
Enjoy this Italian wedding soup on a nice cold rainy day for ultimate comfort food.

I remember eating endive as a salad growing up. We had pasta twice a week (my dad was from Sicily). Wasn't too keen on endive because it had a bitter taste to my sensitive taste buds, but I now enjoy it as an adult. I'll be making this for my wife & I once the weather cools down a bit. Why renew one's vows when you can just celebrate your happy life with the woman you married? Thanks Joel.

grew up in an Italian house with mother that made this every winter. Italians dont put pasta in wedding soup. They make a omelet using parsley parmesan black pepper then dice the omelet into small,squares and drop in at end. It was good that you didnt cook pasta in soup but added at end. Pasta is only good for one day and that soup can be refrigerated for a week without pasta

Loved how you served the pasta separate and then added the cheese. Brilliant. Without homemade chicken stock, I have found the following a palatable substitute: use canned stock, 1/2 half chicken and 1/2 beef. In fact, whenever I now use canned chicken stock, I add a bit of canned beef stock. It just does "something" for the all-around taste without being "tinny." Thanks for the post. And hats off to Australia and its fight for freedom! We must all stick together!
