Very good and easy to make. I cut the recipe in half and it turned out well. Something was missing in the seasoning, though, so I think I will fiddle with the spices a bit. I found myself adding salt and pepper before eating it.

This recipe is a good start but a few small additions make for a terrific soup. In my experience, sauteing onions, garlic & celery is a must. It will add flavor to the chicken broth and is worth the extra effort. Dice the veggies finely and you've improved your soup before you've added a thing. Wedding Soup is a wonderful treat to come home to on a cold winter day. If you have family members who don't eat meat, you can substitute turkey for the ground beef. Thanks, Lalena. This is comfort food at its best.

Great Recipe. The only time consuming part of this soup is making the meatballs. This is a family favorite

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and everybody absolutely LOVED IT!! I took the advice of others and broiled the meatballs first (which were very tasty), and added the pasta just 15 minutes prior to serving it. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and I'm sure they'll love it too!!

I have ate different soup's of this kind, but this is by far one of the best. My husband and my parent's[who are 81 years young and Italian] just raved over it. Not difficult to make either

Good...but not dramatically good. I had some years ago and I was hoping this was it. It was a little more dense and flavorful. However, the recipe was not bad. Definitly pre cook the meatballs a little so you seal in the flavor and don't have all the grease. Also, Orzo works really well instead of shells.

Overall, this wasn't bad, but... Next time, I am going to try to make it in a crockpot to let it simmer all day. Maybe, that will add more flavor to it. I think that that is what soup needs. Also, it seems to need more broth.

Wow this turned out great. I did as others suggested and cooked the meatballs for a little while in the oven first, and the pasta on the stove for a little while before adding them to my soup. I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could.

Just made this for dinner--delicious! I cut the soup recipe in half and froze the leftover meatballs. Also used the tiny seashells--perfect for soup. Will be making this again.

I thought the soup had a good flavor. Realy a hearty meal, serve it with biscuts or home made bread. It takes a little time to make, but it's worth it.. My brother said to leave out the chick peas..

This is a great recipe that my family enjoyed. They said it was the best soup I had ever made. However, it did take me quite a bit longer to prepare than the recipe states.

This was okay. The flavor was good, but way too much spinach for our liking. If you don't like spinach, this soup is not for you. I'd recommend pan-frying the meatballs first for a better flavor.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! I had never had Italian Wedding Soup before and this was incredible! I used a crockpot and cut the recipe in half. I also made the meatballs in a pan and in the oven beforehand. Even if the noodles get mushy it's YUMMY!!!!

This soup was very tasty. The only thing I found is that you had to eat it within two days or it went very mushy. I would suggest to cut the recipe if it is only 2 or 4 people.

I simmered two chicken breasts in the broth to make it more flavorful. I removed them to cool and skimmed the broth. To reduce the fat a bit, I cooked the meatballs in the oven for a few minutes before putting them in the soup and I added the diced chicken at the end. Orzo was all I had, but I would have preferred acine de pepi. Everybody raved about this, even my picky daughter!

This was a very tasty soup. I used ground turkey instead of beef. The only thing I'd do differently next time is cook the pasta separately and add it when the soup is done. The pasta was a little mushy by the time the meatballs were completely cooked. I will make this soup again!!!

I can't say enough about this wonderful recipe. It is a complete and hearty meal in a pot. We froze leftovers in individual serving bowls for meals another day. I prefer to cook the meatballs first before putting them in the soup and I made my own chicken broth to make it less salty. It's a fabulous recipe and a better than fabulous meal. Thanks, Lalena
