ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP



Italian Wedding Soup image

Tender meatballs, veggies, and pasta in a rich and flavorful broth, Italian wedding soup is a meal unto itself.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 large egg
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ lb 85 or 90% lean ground beef
½ lb sweet or hot Italian sausage, removed from the casings
½ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
⅓ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
6 cups high-quality chicken broth, such as Swanson (do not use low-sodium)
2 cups high-quality beef broth, such as Swanson (do not use low-sodium)
2 cups water
½ cup dry white wine (optional)
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper (okay to use black pepper)
1 cup small pasta such as dittalini
4 oz fresh spinach, stems trimmed and roughly chopped (once prepped, you should have about 3 packed cups)
Parmigiano Reggiano, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set an oven-proof roasting rack over top. Spray the rack generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg with the chives, sage and garlic. Add the remaining meatball ingredients and mash with your hands until evenly combined. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls, about 1 inch in diameter (it will make approximately 50 meatballs), and place on the prepared rack. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, start the soup. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beef broth, water, wine, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, uncovered, at a gentle boil until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes (or according to package directions). Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach and meatballs. Simmer for a few minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the meatballs are warmed through. Ladle into bowls and serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months but wait until you reheat the soup to add the pasta. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until simmering, add the pasta, and cook until the pasta is tender.

CHICKEN MEATBALLS, ITALIAN STYLE



Chicken Meatballs, Italian Style image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound boneless chicken thighs, cut into one- to two-inch chunks and frozen for about a half-hour
1 small chunk (about one ounce) not-too-hard Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 small onion or 1/2 medium onion, cut into chunks
1 egg
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
All-purpose flour for dredging
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Put chicken in freezer while you prepare other ingredients. Put Parmesan, parsley and onion in a food processor and process until everything is finely chopped. Add egg, chicken and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper, and continue to pulse until the chicken is coarsely ground - finer than chopped, but not much. Shape into one-inch meatballs, pressing no more than necessary.
  • Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. One by one, dredge the meatballs in the flour and add to the oil. Cook, turning as necessary, until nicely browned all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
