This soup smells fabulous! Tip: Buying fresh basil is worth it! FYI: This recipe makes quite a few meatballs. I don't put all of them in my soup. I find another use for the extra meatballs. Tip: Make spaghetti and meatballs the next night.

How To Make italian wedding soup
-
1Mix all meatball ingredients together. Shape into 3/4 inch balls. (I use my small melon scoop) Place meatballs in casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Set aside. (You will be adding them to soup after the following has cooked)
-
2In large soup pot, saute carrots, celery, and onion in olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute longer.
-
3Add broths, bouillon, spinach, onion soup, catsup, basil, thyme, pepper, bay leaves. Heat until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
-
4Bring soup to gentle boil. Discard bay leaves. Stir in pasta and cook 13-15 minutes, until pasta is done.
-
5Reduce heat and add cooked meatballs. Simmer until meatballs are heated. Serve and enjoy!
