grandma's ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP (meatball soup)

To save time, I recommend cooking the pasta directly in the pot. I did pre-sear the meatballs for some added flavour, but I’m sure it would be fine without as well. I would recommend!

This was easier than I thought I didn’t really follow the video. I added 1 tbl onion flakes and 1/2 tsp of salt to the hamburger meat before dropping them in the soup. I used acini de Pepe noodles instead which cooked a lot faster and did 3/4 cup instead of half. At the end I added a 1/4 tsp of pepper. The carrots and celery were a nice texture and sweetness as well. I had it with herbed butter and sesame bread on the side. I also added 2 tsp of Italian seasoning

I made some adjustments since I didn’t have everything. - Used mixed meat: pork/beef and mixed it to my own liking. - Didn’t have the pasta so I just used vermicelli. - Didn’t have kale either so left that out. For us it’s now a go to, and love to make the original recipe once but some items are hard to come by. But it is VERY good!! We keep leftovers in the freezer for anytime👌🏼

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy touch
