In a classic Italian Wedding Soup, the meat marries the vegetables in a broth. Which type of meat and which vegetables are subject to change, according to your arrangements. Chicken goes well with the savory trio of onion, carrot and celery, with meatballs and spinach in supporting roles. —Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania

Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

This was so good. I diced the chicken pretty small and quartered the meatballs rather than having them so big. I also used turkey meatballs and doubled the amount of carrot and celery (we are trying to bump up our veggie intake). The only thing that I would change is adding a little garlic and I also omitted the thyme as I am not a fan. GREAT RECIPE! My husband really liked it and he can be a pain in the you know what... I will for sure be making again. Thanks Pat!

This is my recipe and it is NOT a soup but rather a pasta skillet using many of the ingredients of wedding soup.

It turned out more like a pasta than a soup, but the flavors were there. It was tasty!

I love Italian Wedding Soup, so I knew I would love this recipe. I used homestyle meatballs and added Italian Seasoning because that's what I had on hand. I also used 1.5 cups of penne instead of pasta shells. Next time I make it, I will leave out the thyme - I'm not a big fan - and add some olives. Yummy!
