Sicilian Wedding Soup
Sicilian Wedding Soup is a delicious and hearty soup that originates from the beautiful island of Sicily in Italy. It’s a traditional dish often served at weddings and other special occasions. The soup usually consists of flavorful chicken broth, tender meatballs made with ground beef or pork, fresh vegetables like spinach or kale, and tiny pasta such as orzo or acini di pepe.
Ingredients
Method
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef or pork, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine, then shape the mixture into small meatballs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and gently add the meatballs. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- While the soup is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, add the cooked pasta and chopped spinach or kale to the soup. Stir well and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the greens are wilted and the flavors are well combined.
- Serve the Sicilian Wedding Soup hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
