ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP WITH PARMESAN SOUP CUBES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Make the meatballs Combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a medium-sized bowl. Add the egg, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and a few cracks of fresh pepper and stir to combine. Add the ground meat and mix well. Roll the meat mixture into miniature meatballs, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Make the soup Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottom skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, and bay leaves. Add a dash of salt and a few cracks of fresh pepper. Sautee until the onions become translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken stock and the boullion cube and bring to a boil. Add the meatballs a few at a time, raising the heat to maintain a low boil. Stir gently as you add the meatballs so they don't get stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. You can make the soup ahead to this point and refrigerate, if necessary. 20 minutes before serving Bring the soup up to a simmer if you refrigerated it. Add the greens and the pasta. Cover and simmer until the pasta is cooked, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot (cooking time will vary based on what kind of pasta you use). Add salt and pepper to taste. Notes Pass the parmesan soup cubes at the table for people to add to their own bowl. Make the parmesan cubes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Mix the eggs, baking powder, parsley and a few cracks of fresh pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cheese, stirring well to combine. Add flour and mix well. It should be the consistency of a thick batter. If it's too thing, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. Grease a small baking dish of about 24 square inches (mine was a 4x6 inch glass dish, but anything close to that will work). Pour the batter into the dish. Bake until the batter has set and the top becomes a light golden brown color, about 30 minutes. Turn out of the dish and let cool on a cooling rack. When cool, cut into small cubes and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• In a deep pot over medium heat, add oil, chopped carrots, celry, onions and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook veggies 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the veggies cook, combine meat, egg, garlic, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper,and nutmeg. Uncover your soup pot add broth and water to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring soup to a boil. When soup boils, reduce heat a bit and start to roll meat mixture into small balls. Drop them straight into the pot. At this point you can add your pasta to cook, BUT I recommend NOT! I recommend cooking pasta fresh to add as you serve:) Cover and simmer soup 10 minutes. Stir in your chopped spinach in batches. When spinach has wilted, it's done. Adjust seasonings. I like to sprinkle grated cheese on top of each bowl. Again, I add my pasta fresh to each bowl, I find it absorbs too much broth otherwise.
