Here is a very easy recipe I make for this soup
Wedding Soup
4-5 servings
Make Bryanna’s Neatballs according to directions but add
Replace the bread crumbs with quick oats
½ t of Nutmeg
1 T or more of Italian seasoning ( I use Emerils Italian Essence )
I rolled these a little smaller about a bite size maybe a bite & 1/2
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 dried bay leaves,
Salt and ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups veggie stock or broth
2 T veggie chicken bouillon
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups dried ditalini, or Shells Ive even seen people use white beans instead of pasta.
1 pound fresh baby spinach
In a deep pot over medium heat add oil, chopped carrots, celery and onions and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5 or 6 minutes (until tender), stirring occasionally. Add garlic & cook another minute.
Add veggie broth and water to the pot along with veggie chic bouillon. Salt & pepper to taste. Turn heat on high and bring broth to a boil. When broth boils add neatballs cook for 10 min then add pasta to the soup and stir. Cover and simmer soup another 10 minutes. When pasta is tender, stir in spinach. You only want to wilt the spinach.
The flour from the Neatballs thickens the broth slightly which I liked but you can always add water or more broth to thin it out if you prefer.

The name, Italian Wedding Soup, refers to the marriage of flavors between the greens and the meats. It's meant to be a one dish meal, served with crusty bread.
