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.

Seasoned with fresh basil and filled with tortellini and springtime greens, Grandma’s Dandelion Soup has been a favorite in my family throughout the generations! 

Cannellini beans, baby kale mix and a swirl of pesto give Pesto Minestrone a new twist on a classic favorite! 

White Bean and Escarole Soup is a hearty vegetarian soup that’s perfect for a meatless Monday dinner option. Bursting with the flavors of fresh escarole, pesto and white beans, White Bean and Escarole Soup is a versatile recipe that can be either vegetarian, when prepared as is, or can be turned into a hearty chicken soup when replacing vegetable broth with chicken broth and adding shredded rotisserie chicken!
