Italian Wedding Soup Supper Recipe


In a classic Italian Wedding Soup, the meat marries the vegetables in a broth. Which type of meat and which vegetables are subject to change, according to your arrangements. Chicken goes well with the savory trio of onion, carrot and celery, with meatballs and spinach in supporting roles. —Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania

Tip

Chopping Onions

I've found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia
