Meatballs, veggies, and yummy broth: Italian wedding soup is one of our favorite soups. The meatballs are so tasty, and lightened with the addition of grated veggies instead of the typical breadcrumbs. The kids are always excited whenever they see me making meatball soup! Italian Wedding Soup Serves 6 Meatballs: 1 pound ground beef, preferably grassfed 1/2 cup shredded zucchini and/or finely grated carrots 2 cloves garlic, minced 1&1/2 tsp dried parsley 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 egg, preferably from pastured hens 3/4 tsp celtic sea salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper Soup: 2 Tb butter, preferably from grassfed cows 1 medium white onion, chopped 3 medium carrots, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade (it is fine if there is some fat in the stock) 1/2 cup vermouth* (or just use more chicken stock) 1/2 tsp dried dill salt and pepper 3 big handfuls of baby spinach, washed well and trimmed Optional garnish: freshly grated Parmesan cheese Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with your hands or a spoon until well-combined. Melt the butter in a 4-qt heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and a sprinkle of salt. Saute for about 10 minutes, reducing the heat if necessary and stirring occasionally. It is fine if the onions get a little caramelized color while cooking. Then add the chopped carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 8 more minutes. Keep the heat just high enough to keep the water released from the veggies from accumulating in the pot. Stir occasionally. While the veggies cook, roll the meatballs. They should be small and bite-sized. Roll the meatballs between your palms to make them nice and round, then set them aside on a plate or cutting board. There should be about 40 meatballs. Deglaze the pot by pouring in the vermouth. Let it cook down a few minutes, and then add the chicken stock to the pot. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam (which should be discarded). Add the dried dill and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to keep a simmer going. Drop the meatballs into the simmering chicken stock. If necessary, push the meatballs down into the liquid. Cover the pot and simmer for 15-18 minutes. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper as needed. Drop the spinach into the pot and cook for 1 minute, until it is just wilted. Turn off heat. Ladle into bowls and serve! If you like, sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top. This soup would be fabulous with Cheesy Bread! *I love to use vermouth, as it doesn't go bad like unused wine. Vermouth is shelf stable, can be used in place of dry white wine in cooking, and can be stored at room temperature indefinitely.
Today I'm going to give our GAPS diet before and after story, and tell how the GAPS diet changed our lives. It has helped our entire family.
There’s a stall at my local farmers’ market that sells biodynamically grown fruits throughout the seasons. When it’s cherry time, hundreds of the juicy beauties will sit atop high oak barrels, looking as though each one has been lovingly polished. We choose from a selection of Rainier, Bing, Van and Sweethearts among others and there are always plenty for tasting prior to bagging up ...

After all, Intro is this horribly scary, super-depriving bout of self-torture where you’re stuck in a state of utter anguish ingesting nothing but hot soups and soured cabbage, right?...Read More »
