“My family loves this quick and easy version of Italian wedding soup," says Kimberly Parker of North Olmsted, Ohio. "They ask for it frequently, and my son begs for me to put any leftovers in his lunchbox.”
Can you freeze Wedding Soup?
Cool and transfer to freezer containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until heated through.
