Italian Wedding Soup with Chicken Meatballs
Endings are always bittersweet. This post is my last one as a 2016 Chicken Farmers of Canada Brand Ambassador. On one hand, I can reflect back on the year and the fun I’ve had sharing delicious chicken recipes and other important info about the Chicken Farmers of Canada. I love sharing their great contests and helpful tips to help you in the kitchen with your chicken recipes. Still, I’m a bit sad to see it come to a close. I think my last recipe is fitting – comforting and tasty chicken soup. I need some comfort food to make me feel better!
Chicken Farmers of Canada is an excellent source for great recipes. I visit their site and their Shopping app often for inspiration. This Italian Wedding Soup with Chicken Meatballs was on their site and jumped out at me when I was searching for soup recipes to try. I’ve tried Italian Wedding Soup before at restaurants, but never made my own at home. That will change now that I’ve made this easy recipe. It was a hit with my family.
This recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd. It makes a lot of soup! That’s a good thing though. Because leftovers. It saved me from having to cook anything the next day because we had so much left. It was just as tasty heated up.
The only thing I changed was omitting the fresh parsley from the meatballs. I forgot to buy it when I was picking up the ingredients. My bad. It still turned out great though. The meatballs were perfect, in my opinion.
I wanted to quickly point out the type of pasta used in the recipe: Acini de Pepe. The name was completely foreign to me and I had no idea of what I was looking for in the pasta aisle. They are the tiny round circles. My small town grocery store carried it. If yours doesn’t have it, substitute another type of pasta like orzo or Ditali pasta.

This soup looks so wonderful! The chicken balls make it so comforting. But what is acini de pepe? I have never heard of that before.
It’s a tiny pasta about the size of a peppercorn.
What a great recipe Stacie. When I first looked at it I thought it was like one of the Greek ones we make. We use ground meat and mix rice into it. A very hearty and filling soup indeed.
It looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday 🙂
