MY BIG SCRUMPTIOUS GREEK WEDDING SOUP



My Big Scrumptious Greek Wedding Soup image

This recipe is a knock-off of the traditional Italian wedding soup. Interestingly enough, the original dish of fame is not served at weddings at all; the name refers to the "marriage" of greens and meat in a clear broth. Here, substituting shrimp balls for the traditional ground beef meatballs makes it a healthy alternative. Using canned broth makes this a very quick and filling dinner entree -- even speedier if the shrimp balls are prepared in advance. The leftovers are delicious!

GREEK WEDDING SOUP



Greek Wedding Soup image

This Rachael Ray recipe is a take on the classic Italian version. I am listing this recipe as printed, however I made a few changes that we really enjoyed. First, I did half beef and half lamb in the meatballs. I had kale in the garden so that went in as well as a splash of half n half. Additional stock maybe necessary if you like a brothy soup or you can cut down on the amount of orzo as it absorbs quit a bit of broth as it sits. I finished the soup with homemade croutons. This was a real winner.
