My Nona (grandmother) makes Italian Wedding Soup for big family dinners. So, I made it for an Italian themed dinner and it was delicious! I have made the soup before at a cooking class but this time I was on my own. It is a very easy soup if you have already made the meatballs so I suggest making them before hand. I also suggest sautéing the onions first for better flavours.
