ITALIAN WEDDING SOUPZuppa maritata
Serves 4 - 6

For the meatballs:
  a.. 1/2 lb ground beef
  b.. 1/2 lb ground veal, pork or turkey
  c.. 1/4 cup bread crumbs (commercial, or grate your own from stale Italian bread)
  d.. 1 egg
  e.. 1 T parsley, finely chopped
  f.. 1/2 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  g.. 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  h.. 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste
For the soup:
  a.. 4 cups chicken broth
  b.. 2 cups spinach, chopped
  c.. 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  d..  Orzo - small grains of pasta shaped like barley.


COMBINE the ground meat, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, minced garlic and salt and pepper in
mixing bowl. Mix well with a fork and form into tiny meat balls (shown are about the size
of a golf ball, but traditional meatballs are a bit smaller) with your hands.
PLACE meatballs on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes at 350F, until
brown. (See ALTERNATE, below)

ABOUT ten minutes before serving, bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the spinach and
cook until tender. Add the meatballs and return soup to a simmer. Stir in the Pecorino
cheese and serve.

ALTERNATE: you can sauté the meatballs in olive oil until brown and procede with step 3
(above), or bring your chicken stock to a low boil, add the uncooked meatballs, simmer for
about 25 minutes, add the spinach, cook until tender, stir in the cheese and serve
