Italian wedding soup

[Brett-EDH]

small side note to anyone inspired to make this.

a few chili flakes into the renderings will elevate the heat profile. and of course, a little minced garlic also adds a nice flavor, into the renderings so the garlic flavor infuses into the fats. fats are flavor carriers for those who like to play with food science.

Italian Wedding is well known, or at least i thought it was. basically it a chicken soup with meatballs, pasta and escarole. almost like mexican albondigas, which is the same soup but with cilantro and no pasta. the sausage makes it a little heavy du to the fats. chicken meatballs would be even better, IMO.

Darn, I have 6 Albondigas soup recipes. 5 with beef/and or pork and one with turkey, but bummer, that one calls for a can of green chilies.

omit the chilis. Albondigas is a great soup!!! and you can do any meatball you desire.
