<\/a><\/p>\nI think this recipe is better on day two. The pasta soaks up the broth and you are left with more of a pasta meatball dish vs. a soup. Not a bad thing!<\/p>\n
How do you make Easy Italian Wedding Soup with Chicken Meatballs?<\/h3>\n
This is a super simple recipe to throw together for the family during the week or for meal prepping for the week. First make the meatballs. You can find the recipe for the meatballs (HERE<\/a>). These can be made the same day or made a day ahead. <\/p>\n Once your meatballs are finished. You want to heat up a large stockpot over medium heat and add your olive oil. Once your oil is heated, add the carrots, onion, garlic and celery and cook until translucent. <\/p>\n Then add your broth. <\/p>\n Once your broth comes to a boil, you can add in your pasta. Depending on your personal tastes and or diet, you can use any kind of pasta that you prefer. If you are looking to make this gluten free- substitute pasta with gluten free pasta.<\/em><\/p>\n Cover your pot, lower the heat to simmer and let the orzo soak up the broth and soften. This should take about 8-9 minutes. You can stir a few times to ensure the pasta is not sticking to the bottom of the pot. <\/p>\n Once your orzo is cooked, add in your meatballs. Cover the pot again and allow the meatballs to finish cooking about 5 minutes. Add in your spinach, cover again and wait for the spinach to wilt. About 2-3 minutes. <\/p>\n Remove from heat, and place soup in serving bowls with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top!<\/p>\nCooking Tip: I like to keep Organic Better than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base in my fridge. It is perfect for any recipe that calls for chicken stock. All you do is add it to water and let it dissolve for perfect broth. <\/h3>\n
