Not everyone has time to make mini meatballs for wedding soup so you avoid making it, Correct?
I make a quick version and it takes about an hour from start to finish. Quick and Easy! I think you can handle a hearty bowl on a cool, damp or chilly day especially when it's done 1,2,3. Enjoy!
Here's what I do. I did it today and although I had to go out for the acne de pepe everything else was at my finger tips. Note: Since it's fall and winter is approaching keep large containers of chicken and beef broth for these days.
1 lb. or less good quality ground beef (today I used round)(lean)
1 medium carrot chopped
1/2 to 1 package frozen spinach(rinse and squeeze to remove as much water as possible) Note: When using frozen spinach I place a few tablespoons of water in a large bowl with the spinach and microwave for a few minutes to thaw. (fresh can be used but rinse well and cut in small pieces)
1-28 oz. Chicken or Beef Broth
2 cups water
8 oz. Acne de Pepe
Pecorino Romano cheese to taste
In a medium size pot add 1 to 2 T olive oil. Place beef in pot with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook slowly while breaking beef apart in small pieces until all red disappears. Add carrots, spinach cooking for a few minutes. Add, broth and water. Simmer until carrots are tender.
In a separate pot cook pasta according to directions. Drain and rinse. Add to Soup. Sprinkle with some grated Italian cheese
