Instructions for Italian Wedding Soup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and minced garlic, sautéing until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Broth and Escarole

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the chopped escarole and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until wilted.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Meatballs

    Add the meatballs to the soup and let them simmer for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice for added brightness.
