Keep warm and filled with a low calorie and nutritious soup-Wedding Soup, that is!
What is the history of wedding soup according to the daring Gourmet the term wedding soup comes from the Italian minestra maritata married soup referring to the flavor produced by the marriage or perfect blending of and welcome there’s no place like your home or loua quina today I want to
Show you a very simple recipe that will keep you filled and warm and also not high in calories especially this time of year when we’re not really as active as we are normally in the in the summer months so what what’s a better idea than a
Wedding soup for this recipe um I kept it simple now I know that you can use you know more high-end ingredients bone broth you know make your own broth but just because I’ve got to get some people fed pretty soon I just decided decided to pick up uh one of these Great Value
Family siiz chicken broths so this is 48 o or six cups and I’ve got my pasta here the Deo I guess it’s pronounced um aini de Pepe and it’s the standard pasta that you do use for wedding soup I cut up a couple of stocks of fresh celery and
Also just so you know a good way to preserve um your vegetables is to wrap them in foil in your vegetable uh drawer and they’ll last about four times longer than they normally would so don’t hesitate to try that and I used um some fresh spinach here’s the rest of the
Container or the the package now with this this is not like the baby spinach or I didn’t get the frozen spinach spinach I got the fresh spinach and then I chopped it up cuz this really is a very delicate looking soup so I didn’t want to have the big leaves just kind of
You know wilted throughout the soup although it might have been pretty but I did chop those up and then I chopped a couple of carrots up into just small bite-sized pieces as you will see here soon now the last thing that I added uh were the meatballs and this recipe calls
For a half of a uh a half of a pound I I’m sorry a pound but I ended up just getting a half of a pound which I don’t I don’t know why but that’s what I got and I just took the meat and um sprinkled them lightly with garlic
Powder and then just rolled them you know rolled them up into Wee Little meatballs and cooked them for about 10 minutes on 350 and they’re just they’re they’re pretty nice I’m pretty proud of my uh effort there and then the other thing that I did was to cook the carrots separately I just
Kind of got them softened I didn’t want this soup just boiling and boiling and boiling you know until the carrots would get soft so I just did a a separate uh cooking of those I did the pasta by itself first and then I just put it all
Together and basically just heated it up for a little bit so it’s ready to go and then uh just added a little bit of garlic salt to the whole soup and you could add some salt and pepper if you would like those are the best Staples ever uh for for your
Cooking and you can have this with some toasted sourdough bread and some cheese or a sandwich or whatever else you would like to have with it but again it’s filling not high in calories and it’ll just you know foot the bill this time of
Year so come on over and let me show you what this looks like once it was all put together so again I just got the carrots cooked um by themselves steamed those did the pasta separately and then you know cooked the meatballs but I had put
The um celery and the spinach in here and I’m just really pleased with my first effort of making uh this wonderful Italian wedding soup so again there’s no place like your home and especially your kitchen this Channel’s geared toward just giving you nice and expensive tips to make your
