The Cooking Cobb

Italian Wedding Soup

Posted on October 10, 2011. Filed under: Main Dishes |

I tried this from a can recently and thought it rather tasty.  I decided to try a homemade version and was quite pleased with the results.  You can substitute pasta (like orzo) for the couscous.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbs Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 10 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups spinach (3 oz)
• 2 carrots
• 1 cup Israeli couscous

Combine beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, and onion.  Form into small meatballs and cook in a skillet.  I used a 1/2 tbs scoop.

Heat the broth.  Chop the carrots and spinach and add to the broth.  Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add the couscous and simmer 10 minutes.

Add the meatballs and simmer another 10 minutes.  Serve.
