Italian Wedding Soup deconstructed (Paleo)
Traditionally Italian wedding soup is made with meatballs. This deconstructed version uses just ground meat cooked and broken up in the Dutch oven. This saves a few steps and about 20 minutes in the kitchen.
I love soup, but since we live in the tropics I try to create recipes that are quicker than traditional versions so I'm not in the hot kitchen very long.
This recipe can be made in an Instant Pot as well using the saute setting and then just put all the veggies, herbs and broth in and let it slow cook for about 30-45 minutes then add the rice and greens and let cook another 5 minutes.
