Moms Homemade Italian Wedding Soup Recipes

MOM'S ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

Steps:

• Mix the onion, garlic, egg, salt together in a large bowl. Add the ground pork (or mixture of pork and beef, if using), Parmesan and a few grinds of pepper. Mix together. (Cook's note: I usually fry up a little meatball at this stage in order to be sure I have the seasoning right. This gives you a chance to adjust seasoning before you shape them all!) Using your hands, shape into little meatballs - approximately 1 inch in size. Place on cookie sheet or tray.
• Bring broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the meatballs to the broth and cook until they are almost cooked through (about 5 minutes). Spoon any foam off the top.
• Whisk the eggs and cheese in a small bowl to blend. Using a wooden spoon, stir the soup in a circular motion. Slowly add the egg mixture to the soup, using the spoon to gently stir the eggs into thin threads in the broth.
• Add greens to the broth. Cook until wilted - about 3 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper, to taste. Ladle into warmed bowls and serve with plenty of Parmesan cheese and crusty Italian bread.
