Here is how you make Healthy Italian Wedding Soup:

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until cornstarch has dissolved. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey with breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning. Pour cornstarch mixture over the meat and knead until well mixed. Roll dime sized meatballs and set aside.In large pot or dutch oven, boil chicken broth. Drop meatballs into broth and boil for 10 minutes. Add spinach and pasta and boil for 10 more minutes. Cool until soup is at an edible temperature before serving.Makes 16 1-cup servings (includes 1 oz. of cooked pasta).-----------------Note: My husband and I have modified this recipe over the years using a variety of methods and have come up with what we consider the best tasting soup. We do not recommend using fat-free chicken broth, as this particular broth makes a bland tasting soup. However, if you are on a low sodium diet, you may prefer mixing 100% fat-free chicken broth (which has 1/3 less sodium) with regular chicken broth in a 3:1 ratio. For instance, you may use three 32-oz cartons of fat-free broth with one 32-oz carton of regular broth.Addendum: This recipe does not include parmesan cheese, which most traditional Italian Wedding Soup recipes recommend. If you'd like, add 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the meat mixture before rolling the meatballs and sprinkle 1 tbsp on the soup before eating.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TERRIFICLYFIT.
