Wedding Soup

I made wedding soup for the first time yesterday. 

And not to brag, but it was awesome.

I made a smaller pot, but more than enough to feed five people.

I like to cook a lot, but I think this was the first time I've made

any kind of soup. It turned out so well I'm planning on trying a 

seafood bisque soon.

Here's the recipe:

3 qt. water

1 lb. chicken

3 stalks celery

3 carrots

1 tsp. parsley

1 cup chopped scallions

5 bouillion cubes

meatballs

Start a pot of boiling water, add salt, pepper and the bouillion cubes. 

Boil the chicken, let cool and use forks or I used my hands, to shred the chicken.

Cut up the celery, carrots and scallions. I tried to shred the carrots into small pieces.

Add to the boiling water.

I made homemade meatballs, but you can buy premade ones if you'd like. I cooked them in a pan first, then added them to the water. If you decide to make them homemade, be sure to add lots of garlic! It's what makes wedding soup different!

I let all these ingredients simmer for about an hour. Add about half a bag of orzo and let the soup cook for another 20 minutes. 

Right before you're ready to serve, cut up a bag of fresh spinach and add to the soup. 

I served mine with some parmesan cheese on top and a slice of Italian bread. 

It was delicious!
