Knead the minced beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, crushed garlic, parsley, half the salt, and black pepper.
Roll the mixture into small meatballs, arrange them on a tray, and chill for 10 minutes.
Dice the carrots and celery stalks.
Soften the carrots and celery stalks in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken stock and remaining salt and bring to a boil.
Drop the meatballs into the soup and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the small pasta and boil for 8 minutes, according to the package time.
Add the spinach in the final 2 minutes and serve the soup once the leaves wilt.
💡 Tip: Roll the meatballs as small as marbles; large meatballs make the soup feel heavy like a main dish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Italian wedding soup with grated Parmesan and optional toasted sourdough bread.
