My Grandmother's Recipe for Italian Wedding Soup


Italian Wedding Soup


Parts of a chicken - back, neck, wings, breast (heart and stomach if you like these pieces). After cleaning chicken pieces rinse chicken in salt water. Put these pieces of chicken into hot boiling water. When the chicken is half cooked put parsley and salt to taste. Cook until chicken is done. Meanwhile, get 1 pkg of cut spinach or 2 packages. Depending on how much soup you are making and cook into boiling water until it is soft and done. Drain the spinach. Take the cooked chicken from the pot and add the spinach into soup. When this is very hot, get 2 or 3 or 4 eggs and scramble them. Add italian cheese to eggs. When soup of very hot dribble the eggs stirring until you have all the egg mixture into the spinach soup. Taste it to see if you need more salt.

Hope you enjoy this and can understand my writing.

I forgot to tell you to take the cooked chicken from soup before putting spinach and egg into soup. Good luck with this recipe!

That's pretty much how she wrote it down. Here's the meatball part:

Meatballs

Ingredients 1 lb ground beef 92% lean beef. Bread crumbs (garlic salt, parsley, and salt to taste). 1 or 2 eggs. mix all together. if a little dry, get a couple slices of bread and soak in water, squeeze dry, and add to mixture. then throw them in the oven. freeze for later.

It's good stuff, once you get the hang of cooking like an Italian grandmother.
