Large pot fill with water about 3/4 . Add onion chopped and 1 carrot per person , sliced , start cooking on med flame . On a lg. plate add ground veal , egg , wet bread remove crust and squeeze water out , fist full of flat chopped parsley and fist full of Italian cheese (Locatelli or Parmesan) grated. knead together. Roll nickel size meatballs and set aside when water is very hot add 2 or 3 chicken bouillons stir , add salt to taste in water. Do not over salt. Then, add spinach or escarole , if you escarole instead of spinach , chop with knife finger size , after greens are soft add meatballs and let cook until meatballs come to top of pot, add pastina 1 1/4 fist full . Cook until pastina is al'dente and meatballs come to top of pan. This is the easy way. You can fresh chicken breast with bones instead of bouillons, I cook chicken in water by itself until it is fully cooked, than I skim off the fat and continue the recipe without the bouillons.
Try not substitute with canned. fresh is always best. This Italian favorite has been a tradition from my mother grace my guess is that she learned this from her mother. My mother made it only at Thanksgiving but I make it for my children whenever they ask

10/14/08 03:50 PM | I don't think this is italian wedding soupI'm sorry but this is not any italian meatball soup I grew up with. Both my parnets were from the old country so I'm pretty sure their recipes are real. You always start with homemade chicken soup, made with a whole chicken cut up. This is a lttle off to me I've never heard of a recipe like this. |

10/13/08 11:19 AM | Oh for petes sake.You folks who left the completely nasty and unnecessary reviews should be ashamed. This recipe is an authentic italian meatball wedding soup recipe. ANYONE familiar with italian recipes can see that. An AUTHENTIC italian wedding soup recipe from a family is cherished. Shame! Apparently? None of you have EVER had a recipe handed down, and translated into a second language the best you can. Obviously this person is writing it as HER family would give it to each other. Basic details. If you need it translated by someone who can read it? ASK ME. I'll email it to you. Rudeness over such a generous recipe share is discusting. |

10/06/08 01:46 PM | On line rudenessI agree, Bugarat1 that was a rude comment. People who write like that on line hopefully wouldn't be nasty if they were talking to the recipient face to face. Rather, they're taking potshots while hiding neurotically in cyberspace. |

10/06/08 06:14 AM | RESPONSE TO BUGARAT1 REVIEWOBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK OR READ A RECIPE SO IT MAKES SENSE. THIS RECIPE WOULD NOT BE HARD TO FOLLOW FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND CAN READ RECIPE LINGO. YOU ARE RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS TO EVEN WRITE A REVIEW LIKE THAT. SOOOOO, YOU GET A BAD REVIEW ON WRITING A REVIEW. NO, I DON'T KNOW THE PERSON WHO SENT THE RECIPE. |

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
