Was Italian Wedding Soup created in Italy?

The history of Italian Wedding Soup is interesting. The modern version of this soup is from an old traditional hearty Spanish soup called minestra maritata, which translates to married soup. Meaning flavors of the meats and vegetables marry together well, not a soup served at weddings as the modern version is.

The original version contained a mixture of meat with a few vegetables as opposed to today’s soup with vegetables, pasta, and only meatballs. The ingredients vary more from family to family more that from region to region. The base ingredients usually include some form of green vegetables such as spinach, curly endive, or others.

Also, pasta, broth, onion, and meatballs are other ingredients usually included. There are variations on the types of broth and/or meat used to make the balls, but the soup is in essence the same everywhere.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
