Italian Wedding soup is almost a whole meal in one bowl, as you have the broth, the veggies, the little meatballs and pasta or rice.
My grandchildren love this soup, so I either make it from scratch, or in a pinch, I purchase the ready made one.
I personally like to prepare meatless meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the Great Lent, as well the whole Holy Week, which is the week before Easter Sunday.
It actually is healthy to give our system a break from the weekly meat consumption, and introduce some vegetarian or seafood dishes instead.
Winter is not over yet, so don’t be fooled by the warm sun during the day. The nights are still quite cold, so perfect time for a bowl of hot homemade soup for dinner.
This Cabbage and Sausage Soup recipe is from Nick Stellino’s site, but for your convenience I am posting it here as well.
My sister-in-law tired this recipe first, and her family unanimously approved it, so she suggested for me to try it.
It takes less 30 minutes to prepare.
Europeans love their soup, as anyone who traveled to Eastern Europe would agree that soup in part of every lunch and dinner menu.
Soups are quite simple to prepare, and very nutritious as well. You can make your own stock, as the base for every soup, or use the ready-made available at your grocer. There is such a variety of broth now…chicken, beef, vegetable, low-fat, low sodium….so it makes it that much easier to get your soup cooking together.
The onset of chilly weather makes us crave comfort foods, so slow cooking chili sounded like the right thing to prepare.
The original recipe is by Betty Crocker, but since I customized it a bit, I will post my version for you.
