So being that the soup we had last night was a combo of my 2 favorites, I thought this would be a perfect name! My 2 favorite soups are both Italian classics; Wedding Soup and Tortellini en Brodo (in broth). Both are mega comfort foods for me, so when I was wondering the store last night exhausted I had a feeling combining the 2 would make me smile. It's basically pasta and meatballs! What could be bad about that? Here is what I did. For the mini meatballs: 1 pound ground meat. ( I used chicken, but you can use beef or anything you like) 1 egg A big handful of grated Parm or Romano cheese. ( I like Romano) A handful of chopped flat leaf Parsley 1/4 of a medium sized white onion Salt and Pepper to taste. For the Tortellini: Well... a bag of fresh tortellini. (1lb) For the Brodo (broth); 1 Box chicken stock. (I like organic and low sodium) 1/4 of a medium size
