    Cozy up with a bowl of this yummy Crock Pot Italian Wedding Soup

    Crock Pot Italian Wedding Soup from Living Well Kitchen

    I wanted to make Italian Wedding Soup in the slow cooker, but I was limited to what I already had in my kitchen.

    Luckily, I had almost all of the ingredients needed, so I came up with a really tasty soup that warmed me from the inside out.

    I based my recipe on this one and thought it turned out well. I skipped the carrots because I thought I had them in my fridge even though I didn't, and I used kale instead of escarole because that's what I already had.

    Oh, and I left out the pasta because I didn't have any and didn't really think I needed the extra carbs when I've been sitting inside eating chocolate and watching movies all day...

      This is one of my favorite kinds of soups. Thanks for sharing! Where I live, we are all prepped for Winter weather and we all know how to drive in it....life goes on...but we are barely getting a drop of rain let alone snow or ice. It's very odd.

        Thanks! Isn't it funny how something so normal to one state can turn another state's world upside-down? Give us a hurricane and we're {usually} totally ready. Give us ice and we have no idea what to do!
