I found out something about "Italian Wedding Soup". It is a
mis-translation (only in the USA - lucky us) of Minestra Maritata and
has absolutely nothing to do with weddings. The name, in Italian,
loosely translates to: soup with greens, stock, and meats all married
together.

And now you know too.

Speaking of Italian Wedding Soup, John and I decided to try a restaurant
called Bella Luna. Turned out to be more like a sandwich shop that also
served soup. I ordered the "wedding soup". It was the worst. A bowl
of weak, no flavour drek. It tasted as if they just opened a can of
chicken broth, threw in some spinach and a blah meatball or two, heated
it up and called it done. Progresso canned wedding soup is *light
years* above what they served.

Too bad!

Don't let it discourage you though. I've looked at lots of recipes on
the net and they are all different. I think all you really need to do
is make a good vegetable soup and add meatballs to it.

Wrong!

http://memoriediangelina.com/2013/02...-wedding-soup/

"the ancestor of this familiar, homey Italian-American classic is an
ancient Neapolitan soup called minestra maritata, which actually means
“married soup”, not wedding soup, and refers to the ‘marriage’ of meats
and green leafy vegetables that comprise its main ingredients"

Hey! I resemble that remark!

At one time I was jokingly known as Clarissa Claven. No, not a nym, it
was a nickname at work. Difference is, I could usually prove I was
correct.

Meatballs, a little pasta, spinach and a good concentrated chicken
stock. I find vegetable stock to be rather boring.

I said vegetable soup. The stock you use to make it is your choice.
