We helped mom make soup!
Mom has never made Italian Wedding soup before but her Nonna used to make it all the time and it was sure yummy.
We found this recipe at allrecipes.com
The meatball making is in progress~
The recipe calls for carrots. We were reading our friend,
Archie's blog on Tuesday and he was talking about putting heart-shaped carrots in your soup and seeing as mom had planned to make this soup, she decided to give it a whirl. There is a lot of "waste" but that's what we're here for, right?
hummmmmm - you will never make it as a gourmet chef, mom. These hardly look like hearts!
The recipe also calls for spinach and lots of it.
What do you think of spinach, Molly? It's pretty good, don't you think?
The meatballs have been dropped into the pot the they're beginning to cook.
We're making a change here. Nonna always used pastina, not seashell onies, and her soup was always the best so pastina it shall be!
The soup was yummy and dad didn't even laugh at your heart carrots, mom! We can't wait to have it again!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly

Hey, so schöne Fotos und so lecker Essen.
Many greetings from Germany!
Keep cooking the smell will help,us navigate. Have a nasty feeling we are going the wrong way, east rather than west!
Save some of those meat balls for us!

Yummy. We'd skip the green stuff and probably spit out the carrot but the rest...oh yes. Peeps says the whole things looks lovely. Stay warm. Have a terrific Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
yummy, yummy...this is one of the "foods of my childhood" that muzzer cooks and dad won't eat. Prolly because of the veal in her meatballs, but he is not a pastina fan either. Yours looks wonderful. If you have too many leftovers we will come and pic them up

I wish there was internet smell-o-vision. I bet it was fantastic.

I love your soup too Sue!!! I have made soup kind of like it but never knew there was a soup going around for years and years almost the same.
I have had more vegetables in it and no pasta in mine!! How much soup did you make-- any left overs???

I love Italian Wedding soup but am too lazy to make the meatballs from scratch.
Looks fantastic.
SHE just made Zuppa Toscana the other day and had to make the Italian sausage first. (We didn't even get a taste.)

I liked the heart shaped carrots. Bet the soup was pawsome.
Wow, that looks just like the soup my husband's Nonna used to make (now made by his mom). Lovely!

Oh yeah that looks really good.
I'm not a fan of spinach...I like it and spit it out. BOL!

I think your carrots look just fine and if I ever make them like you did they would look just like yours!! Everybody thought they looked good!!
Loved the look and I'll bet the taste was good too!!!
That looks incredible! And good thing you two were there to help - it looks like a lot of work!
Our sister Ammy used to LOVE fresh spinach!
Luv,
Dave
I want to come eat with you ~ Italian Wedding Soup and pizzelles ~ I love what you cook.
Thanks for being a friend

Yum! Parental Unit's Italian grandmother and aunts always made the most incredible wedding soup for holidays, but PU has never tried... Now's the time!
That soup sure looks delicious! Mama's grandmother used to use pastina in a lot of her recipes too.
We like the carrots. If Mama tried to cut them in something heart shaped they would totally different.
Love -
