Has someone saved the recipe for Italian Wedding Soup that appeared in issue 35, no 25 which I believe is 2003. I remember reading the recipe, but didn't save it. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could post it.
Thanks,
Barbara

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 t. dried oregano

1 can (15 oz.) white beans, drained and rinsed

Stir together all ingredients (except the ground meat) in a mixing bowl.

Add the ground chuck and mix together thoroughly with a fork. Using a portioning scoop, shape the meat mixture into balls (about marble sized).

Sweat vegetables, ham, and garlic for soup, in oil in a stockpot over medium heat until softened.

Add chicken broth and seasonings; simmer 15–20 minutes.

Drop meatballs into simmering soup with a small scoop or a melon baller. Cook until they float to the top, 3–4 minutes.

Stir in beans, spinach, and parsley. Cook just until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.

Combine eggs and Parmesan with a whisk. Off heat, stir egg mixture into soup.

Thanks CJS and PJ for posting my request for Italian Wedding Soup so quickly! It is going in my digital cookbook immediately. Yes, this was my first post, but I have been following the C@H forum for a long time. I have always found informative information in the forum.

I am still disappointed that the Cuisine Members Plus project never got completed. However, I see that a new Web page has been posted informing that the site is under construction. Maybe, the project finally is going to be completed. Has anyone heard information about this?

Thanks again,
Barbara

Maryann, is this how you make yours? I've seen you mention making this and have been meaning to ask.

Very close, Daphne. I don't usually follow a recipe, but that looks good. I don't put that much stuff in my meatballs and sometimes use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Oh, and I don't use beans. Ron likes it with tiny pasta or orzo. Cook that in a separate pan or you will need to add more broth.

Thanks, Maryann. I thought it ought to have pasta in it. And the beans did sound kinda weird.

Also, I usually use 2 quarts of stock. Never heard of putting ham in it either. I remember using that recipe one time and although it was very good, we are not used to the egg/parm drizzle at the end, so that's another thing I don't do.
