I am giving this 5 stars because this is the only recipe that had the egg mixture in it. I combined the end of this recipe with the first part of 'Mama's Italian Wedding Soup' by Lalena. I also made a bunch of changes to that recipe - see my rating for details.

This is the best! Rich but delicious! Only thing I do different is use less Escarole. I think one bunch is enough.

REALLY Excellent! I made an extra batch of the "meatballs", froze them & saved them for next time! Believe me, you'll want to make this again & again.

Wonderful soup! I substituted spinach and used 1 lb. of Italian Chicken sausage instead of hamburger. I also used fresh basil and added 1 clove of chopped fresh garlic to the meatballs. I added 1/2 cup of acini pepe (orzo pasta) to the soup, it made a HUGE difference and added more texture to the soup. Very filling and light. This is my new favorite! A huge hit with the whole family!

This is a great tasting soup. I had meatballs left over after increasing the recipe to 12 for a baby shower and just saved them for making the soup another day. Making extra meatballs really cuts down on time later on. I also added little star-shaped pasta. Very tasty indeed!

I've been searching for a recipe similar to my gradmother's and I've found it, Thanks Karen! I make a double batch of meatballs and freeze one batch. This makes it especially quick for those evenings when time is premium.

This is the closest thing to my Italian Grandmother's version - she owned three restaurants. The smaller you make the meatballs the better -- also we boil and shred chicken in the broth and add just a few homeade croutons on the top with parmesan cheese.
