Italian Wedding Soup
A great shortcut for this soup is to use Italian sausage. Simply remove them from their casings and roll into meatballs. Add a half tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the broth as well.

Calories: 520kcal
Ingredients
Broth
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat
- 1 onion chopped, 1/4 of it reserved for meatballs
- 1 carrot diced
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and smashed
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 8 cups chicken broth
Meatballs
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream if dairy-free
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast, if dairy-free
- 1/4 reserved onion finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 8 ounces ground pork
- 8 ounces ground beef
- 1/2 cup pork rinds
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
To Finish the Soup
- 7 ounce package miracle noodle rice
- 1 bunch Dino kale stems removed and chopped
Instructions
- Combine meatball ingredients and form into 1 inch meatballs. Set aside.
- Heat the bacon fat over high heat and when hot, add the meatballs, browning before turning to brown the opposite side, about 8 minutes total. Remove the meatballs and set aside.
- Add the onions to the now empty pan, scraping the bottom of the pot to ensure nothing is stuck and releasing the browned bits. Cook until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute. Stir in anchovy paste. Add the broth, bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the meatballs and kale and simmer the soup for another 5-10 minutes, or until the kale is tender.
- While soup is simmering, rinse the miracle noodles under boiling water in a fine mesh strainer. This will eliminate any odor. Set aside to drain.
- When the soup is finished cooking, add the miracle noodles. Serve with additional parmesan and chopped parsley.
