Here&#8217;s the tips and tricks to make it the best:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Searing the meatballs is a game changer in my opinion. Why just simmer them in broth them when you can brown them first add add all that flavor?<\/li>\n<li>Make the meatballs quite small, that way they&#8217;re easier to eat in soup form plus you&#8217;ll get them more evenly dispersed throughout the soup.<\/li>\n<li>Use fresh herbs. They really add great flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Stick with the combination of the two meats for authentic flavor.<\/li>\n<li>Use fresh bread (for bread crumbs). Again we&#8217;re building better flavor and don&#8217;t want to use bread crumbs that have been sitting on the shelf for months plus have additives. The texture of dry would throw this recipe off as well.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t be skimpy with the garlic. This is an Italian soup. I like to use 4 cloves here.<\/li>\n<li>Bring on the parm! The shredded parmesan will really compliment the soup nicely. It may not be pictured as a finishing garnish, but don&#8217;t leave it off.<\/li>\n<li>Stick with tiny pasta, you&#8217;ll love how it sets this soup apart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients needed to make Italian Wedding Soup.\" width=\"730\" height=\"1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/italian-wedding-soup-20-1460x2191.jpg 1460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) calc(100vw - 20px), 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients Needed<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lean ground beef:<\/strong> Use 80 to 90% lean ground beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground pork:<\/strong> If you can&#8217;t find ground pork you can use an additional 8 oz. ground beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh bread crumbs:<\/strong> Use stale bread that&#8217;s blitzed, not shelf stable dried bread crumbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley:<\/strong> Fresh parsley is best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oregano:<\/strong> This can be fresh or dried.

Serve warm, sprinkle each serving with parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for the Recipe<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Bread tip:<\/strong> I recommend using a hearty rustic bread for the breadcrumbs. Just grind up a slice in a food processor to fine crumbs. Save the remaining bread for serving (slathered with butter of course) or freeze for another later use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meatballs:<\/strong> Cook the meatballs in two batches so they have room to brown. I know it takes a bit of patience but the end result pays off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pasta and broth:<\/strong> If you like a more brothy soup you can reduce pasta to 3\/4 cup. Note that as the soup sits the pasta will absorb more broth so you can add more broth to thin the soup as desired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boost flavor:<\/strong> For the absolute best flavor use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/how-to-make-chicken-stock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade chicken stock<\/a>. If you have a parmesan rind on hand you can simmer that with the soup for added flavor. You can also add fresh basil to the soup if you want more herby flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75890\" title=\"Italian Wedding Soup\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9.jpg\" alt=\"Italian wedding soup in a large pot.\" width=\"730\" height=\"1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-730x1095.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/italian-wedding-soup-9-1460x2190.jpg 1460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) calc(100vw - 20px), 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Pasta to Use for Italian Wedding Soup?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Acini di pepe<\/strong> is the first choice. They are tiny little round pasta that can usually be found by the other pastas at the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a substitute for acini de pepe? If you can&#8217;t find them <strong>orzo<\/strong>, <strong>ditalini<\/strong>, <strong>pastina<\/strong> (stars), or even <strong>macaroni<\/strong> will work here as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Substitute Other Greens?<\/h2>\n<p>Mostly likely prefer the flavor of the spinach best here but kale, endive or escarole are other greens commonly used in Italian Wedding Soup and they would work fine in this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>If using one of those previously listed I&#8217;d recommend adding them along with the pasta as they&#8217;ll need a longer cook time. The spinach cooks almost instantly whereas those others wont.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Italian Wedding Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Italian Wedding Soup will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the pasta will absorb more broth as it rests. If needed add more broth to the soup to thin it back out to your liking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-75888\" title=\"Italian Wedding Soup\"
