Paleo Italian Wedding Soup

February 11, 2015

Soup Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week. Plus, having leftovers for Monday is so so great. I found this recipe online and when I first made the soup, I didn't love it. It was kind of bland and pretty dry. The next day I played around with the leftovers a little bit and was able to make it a lot better. The original recipe is as is, my additions are in red. I hope you enjoy it! Do you have any soups you love, if so, please share in the comments!

  4. Roll meat balls into desired size
  5. Bake for 15 minutes until fully cooked
  6. While cooking, chop veggies
  7. In a pan, heat oil, garlic, add onion, celery and carrots. Let cook about 5 minutes

  9. When I was ready, I added the kale and cooked for about 2 minutes, until it wilted. 
  10. Add the meatballs, mix together and serve!
