Mama Marie's Wedding Soup

Serves: 8

Cooking Time: 2 hr 30 min

What You'll Need:

6 (10-1/2-ounce) cans condensed chicken broth

4 cups water

1 (14-ounce) package cocktail-sized frozen meatballs

2 eggs, beaten

4 cups freshly chopped escarole or spinach

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish(optional)

What To Do:

1. In a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, combine broth, water, and meatballs. Cover and cook on HIGH 2-1/2 hours or on LOW 6 hours, or until meatballs are heated through.

2. Remove cover and gradually stir in egg, forming thin strands. Stir in escarole and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately topped with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Note:

Most people think this soup got its name by being served at Italian weddings, but that's not the case. The translation of the name actually refers to the marriage of the meatballs and greens, not the bride and groom!
