Italian Wedding Soup Recipe
One of my favorite things about the seasons changing from summer into fall is homemade soup simmering on the stove. Soup warms up your body and your soul. Italian Wedding Soup is one of my all-time favorites but did you know that the soup has nothing to do with weddings? The name “Italian Wedding Soup” happened to get a little lost in translation. It is a mis-translation of the Italian phrase “minestra maritata” which translates to “married soup”. It is actually a reference to the fact that green vegetables and meats go well together or in other words the flavors “marry” well. You’re going to love that this recipe is a cinch to make with ready-made meatballs and baby spinach! It’s ready in about 30 minutes so you can honestly say “Here’s a little something I just whipped up!”. So snuggle under a blanket, warm up your body and soul with simmering soup and welcome in the cool crisp air of autumn.
