Easy Italian Wedding Soup #MeatballMasters

Friday, January 16, 2015 by Lolli 13 Comments


I made this delicious and easy Italian Wedding Soup using Johnsonville® Meatballs as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own.

Spaghetti and meatballs is a family favorite. A classic. A wonderful stand-by, welcome-anytime meal.

But spaghetti is far from the only thing that meatballs are good for. I’ve made 15-minute meatball sliders, meatball fettucini alfredo (I’m drooling just thinking about it!), quick meatball stroganoff, and even chipotle peach meatball appetizers perfect for the Big Game.

Meatballs are so versatile, and Johnsonville® meatballs are the best tasting, highest quality frozen meatball I’ve tasted. Ever. Because I don’t always have time to make meatballs from scratch, I always have a bag of frozen meatballs in my freezer for great tasting meals without a ton of time slaving away in the kitchen.

This week, I was trying to come up with a new way to feature meatballs at family dinner time. Since we are loving soups this time of the year, I decided to try an Italian Wedding Soup and was blown away with how perfectly it came together. What’s more….it’s so healthy, full of hearty vegetables, comforting broth, and Johnsonville® meatballs, made with only premium cuts of meat and spices.

This was a hit in our house, even with the kids! I especially loved hearing the older kids telling my youngest how even the spinach tasted delicious in the soup.

This recipe makes 8-9 filling servings. It’s perfect for leftovers the next day, too.
