Tiny meatballs. Tender greens. Cozy little pasta.
Despite the name, this soup isn’t actually served at weddings — it’s a poetic reference to the “marriage” of flavors: savory meat, leafy greens, and soul-warming broth. Simple, rustic, and absolutely heartwarming.
Let’s Make It From Scratch:
This version includes homemade mini meatballs, delicate acini di pepe pasta, and bright leafy greens all simmered in a flavorful broth. It’s the kind of soup that makes you want to grab a blanket and stay home.
