Greetings from Idaho! I work in an ER with nurses and staff who are on the move nonstop. I made this soup for my team on my day off and they loved it! Thank you!
My Asian Hispanic family is becoming New York Italian, brother. Thanks for expanding our cuisine. We’re addicted, and they make us and our kids really happy and full.
I've been on UA-cam since before Google bought them. In all that time, I don't know that I've had a single UA-camr who I felt contributed to my day-to-day life enough to give money to. Thank you, you've earned a new Patron on Patreon.
This soup is so special - I haven't had this soup since my Italian mother-in-law made it many years ago. She passed and no one has her recipes. I am so going to make this for my hubby - thank you for reminding me of this Italian family classic.
This has been in rotation in my household since I first watched it back in 2021. Husband isn't big on bitter(ish) greens so used a 50/50 mix of escarole and romaine lettuce. Made it as a starter for Thanksgiving dinner starting in 2022, and my family loves it. Didn't realize how much until this past Thanksgiving when I decided not to make it. My parents, sister, and nephew were aghast that we weren't having this as a first course. And now finding it hilarious that as I'm typing this, husband texted me from work asking if we can have this soup tonight. Definitely an awesome recipe!!
I love that you called it scarola (scarole). I am an Italian American from Brooklyn and that made me happy! You are doing your Grandmother proud making her soup. Oh and her cookies!
Hey man, I love it when you throw the towel towards the camera. It's your calling card.... and your ability to cook. I appreciate the down to earth videos.
I'm Italian too and always had this soup on Thanksgiving before the feast, my mom always used the turkey neck and gizzards and heart and liver in the broth along with carrots celery white turnips and onion and parsley. She used beef and pork for the balls tho. Since she passed in 2018, we haven't had it either. I love it so much. It's crazy how similar all Italian families are😊💖
Italian Americans families are all similar, Sicilians, Neapolitans, Calabrians, everyone eats all the same dishes, in Italy it's different, a Sicilian family eats different dishes from a Roman family, a Tuscany family eats differently from a neapolitan family, anyway....the wedding soup in Italian minestra maritata there is only in Campania and Lazio and it's different from the American one.
Neapolitan Italian-American family here in NJ, we always had this soup as the first course at Thanksgiving and Christmas (usually made by a team of my Grandma & many Aunts/Cousins). Then we'd have a pasta course (usually a simple marinara), THEN 'American' Thanksgiving. As a kid I always ate so much of the soup & pasta that I barely had any of the classic main course dishes until I was 17-18.
Your knife skills impressed me, your love of ingredients sold me. I know this video is two years old - I hope you are still cooking. The passion is apparent and I am here for it!
Made this tonight! Followed your recipe to the minute. I used beef for the meatballs with homemade breadcrumbs and freshly grated Pecorino Romano. They started to float around 5 or 6 minutes. I did them in 2 batches. They were so good the first batch almost didn't make it back into the pot. I used a homemade broth made with rotisserie chicken bones. So delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Here’s the thing. As a Sicilian woman (from Cleveland), I LOVE to see Italian recipes prepared the way my family has always made them. Veal meatballs, pecorino and escarole for sure. Thank you for sharing a legit recipe with non-Italians. But... for my family, wedding soup calls for a very specific soup noodle. Since it’s supposed to call to mind a wedding, we always use rings bc they look like wedding bands. Something only we would ever notice or think about, lol. Having said that, I love your channel and appreciate all you do.
That is funny I am from Boston and it is usually made with tiny tiny little balls, and I remembered when reading your comment someone telling me it was like baby's breath used a lot at weddings.
i'm so happy that you did this video. I'm all over Ramen and every other Asian soup, noodles and such ... but Italian wedding soup is a powerful feeling for me ... thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
in particolar is apriace in the south of Italy, but is better cook pasta in the water of vegetables and meat balls. but...is very good also your version !
Meat and bitter greens are a classic soup combination. I think it's so cool that every culture seems to have a version of this dish. Looks delicious man I hope to try your recipe sometime.
man, believe me, you're incredible, many italians doesn't even knows that this dish exist... this is a masterpiece of my home region's typical dishes, an ancient culture, this dish doesn't exists on youtube... you look like someone borned here, i hope to see you try making the "minestra maritata"... i hope you'll gain what you deserves for the exploration of this passion
I'm the farthest thing from a Northerner and an Italian, but these dishes are just top notch. You also have a calm, inviting personality which adds to the allure. Crème de la crème of cooking channels.
Love the recipe! Tastes just like my Nona's. My grandmother died when I was 11, so I never got to learn her recipes. I'm so very grateful you were willing to share this. Thank you!
I've seen many great cooks prepare this soup. There was something magical about your method here that I am much looking forward to making this holiday season
Thank you so very much for this amazing recipe. It is nearly identical to my mom's recipe. She passed away a few months ago and I miss her dearly so I'm making this!!she was from Trieste, Italy by the way
1 head Escarole 1 large onion 2 large carrots 3 ribs celery 1 lb veal Some cream (half cup?) 1 egg Pecorino Romano cheese (1 cup grated?) garlic parsely 1.75 liters broth or stock pasta (Ditalini) olive oil Clean and chop Escarole Dice up mirepoix Mix ‘sludge’ - cream, egg, salt, pepper, pecorino, grated garlic and parsely Adjust moisture by adding more cream if needed Mix meat in and make small meatballs small enough to fit on a spoon Sweat mirepoix (10-15 min) - no browning Add 8 cups broth and 4 cups water Simmer 10-15 min till veggies are fully cooked and tender Adjust seasoning Add meatballs and cook 10-15 min - don’t boil and they’ll float when done Add escarole and cook a min or so then let steep in soup Separately cook the pasta Plate pasta and soup together
Finally! Someone who knows how to make an authentic Italian wedding soup. You don’t cook the meatballs first, never! A gentle simmer, tiny meatballs will float when ready in about 10-12 mins. Bravo!
you don't realize the good memories you trigger with your soup..Mom is no longer physically with us..I miss mom and her her soup immensely ...Tutto Bravo
New sub. Chef I dig your vibe. No fluff, no hype, no gimmicks. You love and respect for your craft is evident. I look forward to your content. EDIT. LOL those videos if 4 years ago 😜
I'm making this for the second time. ❤ I wasn't expecting how good this soup recipe is. The best soup I've had yet! Thank you 😊so much for sharing it!❤
This hands down is best cooking channel I’ve ever watched. I’m always looking forward to watching new videos from you. I’ve made some of the pastas you made on your channel and they’ve always tasted amazing. Keep on doing what you’re doing man! Truly amazing work!
I have made our version of this soup for years, my daughter has now taken over creating it for us. Ours is slightly different we don't add carrots and celery, it only cooks in a rich homemade chicken stock. And the pasta of choice is Pepe, added the same way at the end.
Glad to find your channel! My Mom wasn't Italian, Scottish and Cherokee actually, but loved making dishes from friends and liked what she called meatball soup.
Steve, made this recipe last week, shared with my downstairs neighbor. She wasn’t feeling well. Turns out it was her last meal before she passed away. it was her favorite soup said her husband as I passed it’s to him.
My grandmother would make a dough with bread crumbs, Romano, spices, milk and egg, then roll the dough into little logs, dry them a bit in the oven and slice medallions to add to the soup. And she always used acini di pepe pasta - So good! Thankfully my mom makes it now that grandma is gone.
Grandma would be proud I'm sure. Grandmas are the greatest. Mine used to wake up before anyone else and fill the house with the smell of bacon. We get up to that smell and coffee too. Then it was all laughter and smiles as she poached our morning eggs in the bacon grease. Yep, those eggs would float and crisp up so nice. After breakfast we'd sit on the old porch in the morning dew and play dominoes or cards. She loved games. Man I miss mine too...
I’m on a kick of trying your recipes! I made this soup last week and my family raced a out it! The meatballs were soo perfect! I will definitely add this to my arsenal!
I don't eat out very often and when I do if there's Italian wedding soup on the menu I order it. LOVE cooking at home and I've never thought of making this for myself. THANK YOU BROTHER!! #buonamangiata
It seems like many european countrys got a soup like that. Here in Germany it even translates to the same name. But regardless the country, the best noodle soups are always form grandma!
Love your show. You are so down to earth. I have watch his show 4 times. I am ready to make this soup. Keep up the good work and I will keep an eye out for new receipes.
I love your channel. I’ve made your weekday sauce, penna a la vodka and now this soup and they’re all phenomenal. My daughter and her friends can’t stop talking about the vodka sauce recipe.
Italian Wedding soup is made with all kinds of different ingredients, the name simply refers to the ingredients marriage. Chicken soup w/ meatballs is extremely common, I love it and make it often and it can be considered "Wedding Soup" but it's not the only! When I was in Italy, I had a wedding soup that took 2 full days to prepare, it had different cuts of pork, beef, veal, vegetables etc., etc., but no meatballs LOL! It was truly the most delious soup I've ever, ever had, I've never tried (yet) to duplicate that wedding soup, it's a lot of work and would be extremely expensive to make unless you live on a farm and have all the resources.
Freaking love it. My grandmother use to make this ever Christmas. However noodles were in the soup. My grandmother past away a year ago and gonna make this with prime rib.
Yes..I always had moms wedding soup on Thanksgiving... This is how we would eat too.. mom put cheese tortellini..sometimes shredded mozzarella..was an option on the table.and grated parmesan...mmmmm. Good job...
I love recipe hacks! Thank you so much that’s very nice of you to share your talent with us. Your channel inspired me to learn and grow as a fellow cooking creator! I’d love to continue to learn from one another. Much success to you in 2022!
in Romania we call it "ciorba de perisoare" but it is a meatball soup. Ingredients : root ( carrots, celery, parsnip, parsley ), meatballs ( pork, veal, beef, mixed pork-beef, chicken meat seasoned + rice if you want ), tomato puree. Season it when all is boiled ready with fresh chopped parsley leaves and as an option sour cream.
Hi! Don’t know if you read comments on a recipe posted this old…..But, here’s a trick my Granny taught me a long time ago. Before you chop up your escarole: fill up your sink with cold water & put 1/4-1/2 cup of white vinegar in it swish around& dunk your greens in it & soak about 5 minutes or so. This kills any bugs …. They’re not too fond of the vinegar at all. Then, rinse with fresh cold water. It makes me feel a lot better doing this & the vinegar doesn’t leave any taste At All‼️ I prefer not eating little bugs, Thank You very much.‼️
I'll have to try this soup. My Italian grandma always put an egg at the end. I hated that. I always said can I have some before you put the egg in? But this version I'll try. I made your Pasta e Fagioli on Monday. Except I used pancetta instead of lard. I cut it up in pieces and reserved them as a garnish for the soup.
Looks delicious..Basically make it the same way but I like to saute the meatballs in a little olive oil before throwing them in. I also add a half or whole 8 oz of tomato sauce and some parsley. My cousin does it like you. It's such a good soup. Happy Thanksgiving Steve!!!
The first time I seen one of ur videos I thought “What can this kid possibly teach me about cooking?!?!” Then I watched your videos…I’m ashamed to say I basically stereotyped you…I’m so sorry I did…I binged watched MOST of ur videos lol…I’m happy to say…I’m sharing your videos with my niece’s and nephew …I always tell my Nieces and nephews tht live on their own…go to ur channel for whatever they’re cooking lol …You are awesome…Thanks for sharing ur cooking skills…I’m sure ur making ur family proud❤️♥️❤️
I so love your recipes and simple explanations. No Drama! I have followed family traditions as well, though much older than you, serving "Wedding Soup" at Thansksgiving. I vary slightly, using beef for the meatballs and fry them first. I haven't used a mirepoix previously, but will now, as the added flavor makes sense. the pasta was always the tiny star pastina. The majority of your recipes are virtually identical to my family's. I am trying to replicate those I have never tried. Great You Tube Channel!
Lovely recipe! So ready to make this. Little note: don't use potato skins to make broth, it will make it cloudy. For all the other scraps: your grandma would be so proud of you!
My holidays wouldn’t be the same without some escarole soup. Like most, our family recipe is slightly different. Only veggie in ours is the escarole. We also use some type of pastina and we also add egg to our soup. Great recipe!
As a chef, I'd also like to nominate romaine lettuce as a suitable substitute. It's overlooked as a cooking vegetable, but is wonderful in soups/stews/ect where you might use vegetables like kale, char, etc. It has this lovely waterlogging effect too, that packs it with flavour in a broth. I first discovered using romaine like this, from a Chinese cookbook(actual Chinese, and not Chinese-American), that I had to have Chinese friends translate for me back when I was maybe 13 or 14(around 1994/5).

Your accent tho. I guess you didn't grow up speaking Italian. 6 months in Italy will fix that
spent the whole episode trying to figure out how you were gonna eat soup off the cutting board.

I cannot have milk or cream. Cheese is okay. What could I substitute in the meatballs for the milk?
Coconut milk might work...
If you cant use milk use water

I won a cousin cook off with this soup but at the end, I stirred in a mixture of raw egg and parmesan cheese to give it a silky texture.
Did the recipe and my family really enjoyed it. Before serving the soup, I whisked 2 eggs with pecarino cheese and poured it in the soup. Buonissimo

But this version I'll try.
I made your Pasta e Fagioli on Monday. Except I used pancetta instead of lard. I cut it up in pieces and reserved them as a garnish for the soup.
Ok, I made this and substituted spinach and rotini and this recipe was absolutely amazing!!!!
You are legit, my friend. Thank you for this superb recipe and teaching.
This soup looks wonderful 😋
I always wanted to learn this recipe.I’m Cuban but I love Italian Wedding Soup.Thank you sir.I going right now to the store to get the ingredients😉👍
I love and have planted escarole many many times. I love it.
Let’s see if this holiday season can get you the amount of subscribers you deserve! One of the best cooking channels for sure.
Looks delicious..Basically make it the same way but I like to saute the meatballs in a little olive oil before throwing them in. I also add a half or whole 8 oz of tomato sauce and some parsley. My cousin does it like you. It's such a good soup. Happy Thanksgiving Steve!!!
Its very cold up here in NEW YORK & I made this for dinner. I warmed me up & I was good too !!!

This is my favorite soup and I make it every time I feel under the weather. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been adding my escarole too soon!🌸
I was craving this recipe and I just knew you had a recipe. Looks so good!! Can’t wait to make this recipe
Nice work and a great way to honor your grandmother! Bravo
👏
Nothing better than Nonni's wedding soup! 🥣
I so love your recipes and simple explanations. No Drama! I have followed family traditions as well, though much older than you, serving "Wedding Soup" at Thansksgiving. I vary slightly, using beef for the meatballs and fry them first. I haven't used a mirepoix previously, but will now, as the added flavor makes sense. the pasta was always the tiny star pastina. The majority of your recipes are virtually identical to my family's. I am trying to replicate those I have never tried. Great You Tube Channel!
My Italian family makes Italian Wedding Soup every Thanksgiving as a first course. I'll try your version this year!! xo
how was it?
@@pjonesg Amazing
Bravo well done amazing for s cold day s wonderful comfy soup 🇨🇦🇮🇪
Lovely recipe! So ready to make this. Little note: don't use potato skins to make broth, it will make it cloudy. For all the other scraps: your grandma would be so proud of you!
My holidays wouldn’t be the same without some escarole soup. Like most, our family recipe is slightly different. Only veggie in ours is the escarole. We also use some type of pastina and we also add egg to our soup. Great recipe!
You make it just like I do! One of my family's favorites 🥰
God bless your grandma. I'm making this today. I have most of the ingredients. I'll sub spinich for the escarole.
As a chef, I'd also like to nominate romaine lettuce as a suitable substitute. It's overlooked as a cooking vegetable, but is wonderful in soups/stews/ect where you might use vegetables like kale, char, etc. It has this lovely waterlogging effect too, that packs it with flavour in a broth. I first discovered using romaine like this, from a Chinese cookbook(actual Chinese, and not Chinese-American), that I had to have Chinese friends translate for me back when I was maybe 13 or 14(around 1994/5).
Haha, love to see you fighting back those onion tears.
Another great vid...fast becoming my favorite UA-cam channel.
That's a very yummy soup and thanks so much for sharing your grandma's recipe with everyone here.
