Italian Wedding Soup

Amazingly, almost every time I go to Costco, they are offering samples of this product. I imagine it's not a particularly authentic version, though!

I've just seen an advert for a Campbell's tinned product called this.

I think Progresso Chickarina Soup is the most commercially available version of this dish, isn't it?

I actually LOVE Chickarina! It's my "go to" canned soup when I'm feeling under the weather. That is if I'm not doing the medicinal thing with a big bowl of Pho or Hot and Sour soup instead :cool:

My (born in Italy) grandmother used to make this soup all the time when I was little. I had never heard of it anywhere else until just now....

She made it with meatballs and spinach, but that is all I can remember....

Little meatballs, chopped spinach and/or escarole, pearl pasta and chicken broth. That is Italian Wedding Soup, no?

Chickarina has been one of my faves ever since I was little. It always blew the doors off of Campbells Chicken Noodle, which I found bland and watery, even as a child. I never understood why other kids liked that... :huh:

That's exactly what it is -

Here is the only recipe I could find in English

...as always there are many versions.

The About.com Italian food guy, Kyle Phillips, did a nice piece on Italian wedding soup:

Turnip Greens are Better than Nothing. Ask the people who have tried both.

Not that there's anything wrong with making 800 meatballs just for the heck of it.
