Mama’s Italian Wedding Soup

This Mama’s Italian Wedding Soup has been in our family for generations. The name derives from the marriage of meatballs and vegetables coming together perfectly to create this hearty soup which is loved by Italians and Americans alike. This is a popular winter dinner around our home and ensures the right balanced diet that I like to promote for my family.

I usually boil up a pot on a Sunday evening and refrigerate it for the rest of the week. Pairing it with a glass of good Italian red wine and a loaf of fresh, crispy, warm ciabatta bread, this Mama’s Italian Wedding Soup brings all the fuzzy feelings out.
