I tried to make a recipe which got the most 4-5 star reviews at AllRecipes. It was bland, even after making the changes the other users suggested. So, I got creative. Now at my house, it is extremely difficult to get everyone to agree if dinner was good... Not with this recipe It does call for a decent amount of work, but I didn't mind

How To Make italian wedding soup kristy style

  • 1
    Mix ground beef, egg (beaten), bread crumbs, oregano and finely minced fresh basil. Make little meatballs, about a 1/2 inch each. I ended up with 55 of them. Bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. When finished, set aside.
  • 2
    While meatballs are baking, dice carrots, slice onion tops and cut into small pieces, coarsely chop spinach, parsley, escarole.
  • 3
    Cook 1 cup of acini de pepe according to al dente instructions on box. The pasta has to be cooked separately. Strain and set aside.
  • 4
    Saute diced carrot with cooking spray for 5-6 minutes to soften in a soup or stock pot.
  • 5
    Pour stock into pot. Add remaining ingredients. Add meatballs. Squeeze in juice from half of a lemon. Bring to a slow boil until spinach and escarole wilt, then turn down to low. Last but not least, add the acini de pepe pasta and cook for 5 minutes.

    Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty rolls for dipping... Mange!
