Easy Italian Wedding Soup

Mainely Debbie's Note:

I used to make my own meatballs for this soup and buy regular spinach and tear off the leaves until I made it this way which is so good. My family requests this soup all the time in the winter, it is a comfort food to them.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 Large S ...

• 24 cups water
• 1/2 cup chicken bouillon granule
• 1 lb orzo pasta (or more)
• 3 lbs frozen 1/2 ounce italian meatballs, Thawed
• 10 ounces shredded carrots
• 2 (9 ounce) bags baby spinach

Directions:

1. I like to cook the orzo separately and then add it to the soup at the end.
2. Put the rest of the ingredients in a large stock pot and bring to a boil and then simmer for at least an hour.
3. When serving, put soup in bowls and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired, you could also serve it with Italian bread for slopping up the broth.
