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

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.
ReplyDeleteBest 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 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!!

That looks incredible! And good thing you two were there to help - it looks like a lot of work!

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!
ReplyDeleteThat soup sure looks delicious! Mama's grandmother used to use pastina in a lot of her recipes too.
ReplyDeleteWe like the carrots. If Mama tried to cut them in something heart shaped they would totally different.
