I tried this recipe along with your recipe for chicken stock and it was FANTASTIC! I’ve had wedding soup many times from other recipes and this is classic wedding soup the way it should be, thank you so much for taking the time to lay out this recipe!

That sounds like a great recipe! When time permits, I like to make homemade stock too. Luckily, this recipe is forgiving and works well with canned.

I had a copy of Lee Iococca’s Italian Wedding Soup, which I lost in a move. This is the closest I have found. The one I had started with a whole chicked, which was used with onions, carrots & celery to make the chicked broth then the meat removed from the bones. After the veal meatballs were simmered in the soup to perfection, the shredded chicked was returned to the pot with homemade pasta squares. It usually took me two days to make, but it was absolutely worth it. I will try this version, it certainly looks wonderful.

My grandma also always dropped in an egg at the end, and always on Christmas Eve too

Thank you so much for the clear explanation of the name! This soup looks so delicious and the idea of simmering the meatballs instead of frying or baking beforehand is spot on. It is a perfect example of this soup’s name – the marriage of flavors from all the ingredients. As the meat simmers, it shares its flavor with the entire dish!

Ooo, my children love this soup and I’ve made a semi-homemade version but not an “original”.
