Italian Wedding Soup {Recipe}
November 28, 2014This Italian Wedding Soup is the perfect recipe for frigid Winter days. It’s a hearty, healthy soup that is brimming with hearty vegetables, savory broth and juicy meatballs.
The days are getting colder and we are spending more time cuddled up indoors. When the temperatures drop, there’s nothing like a big bowl of warm soup filled with yummy veggies and turkey meatballs to soothe the soul. This recipe, which features turkey meatballs, is a much healthier alternative to traditional beef-based soups.
