One of my favorite meals that Frankie makes is his wedding soup! Honestly, I had never even tried wedding soup before. He decided to whip up a batch one day and combine some recipes that he found to make his own. It’s the perfect combination of flavors and tastes great on a cold winter day (or a 90 degree day at our house! ha)






- 1 medium vadallia onion - diced
- 3 medium carrots - diced
- 4 stalks celery - diced
- 2 garlic cloves - minced
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 5 oz fresh spinach - chopped
- 1/2 cup acini de pepe pasta
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs panko
- 1 egg
- 1/3 lb ground beef
- 1/3 lb veal
- 1/3 lb pork
- 2 tbsp italian herb mix (fresh oregano, basil, parsley & thyme)
