This amazing Italian wedding soup is a combination of homemade meatballs with spinach, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and pasta (I use couscous but you can use orzo too). Sometimes I use millets instead of the couscous to make it even more healthy. Rolling the mini meatballs is the most time-consuming part, but I usually have plenty of volunteers to help me with it. It is worth every minute of work, since this nutritious Italian soup is truly a perfect bowl of comfort. I love to serve it with freshly baked garlic flatbread, which is also very easy to put together. You can find the recipe for that in this video: https://youtu.be/LnP6cPNktvc?si=GfdH55wo2zLS_CSV
