Easy Italian Wedding Soup Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. Made with homemade turkey meatballs, tiny pasta, and dark leafy greens, Italian Wedding Soup is simple yet flavorful. Ready in just 30 minutes!
Italian Wedding soup is a classic favorite of mine. It’s such a simple yet flavorful soup, with meatballs, small pasta like ditalini, and leafy greens. The name “Italian Wedding Soup” is a reference to the “marriage” of greens and meat in the soup . I love to use escarole in my soup but spinach, kale, and other dark leafy greens work just as well! A few more soup recipes I love are Spinach Tortellini en Brodo, Cheeseburger Soup and Chicken and Avocado soup.

Parmesan cheese – Grated from the block.
Aromatics – Parsley, onion, and garlic add flavor to the meatballs.
Egg – Helps to hold the meatballs together.
Salt
For the Soup
Olive oil – For sauteing the aromatics.
Onion & carrots – Add flavor and texture.
Chicken broth – Use low sodium to control the saltiness of the broth.
Parmesan cheese rind – Optional but recommended for flavor.
Leafy greens – You can use escarole, fresh spinach, or any dark leafy green you desire.
Cracked pepper
Pasta – Acini di pepe, orzo, and ditalini are all great choices.
