Slow-Cooker Italian Wedding Soup

More About This Recipe

• Believe it or not, it’s almost fall, and this slow-cooker Italian wedding soup is the perfect introduction to chilly weather and soup season. It’s a warming meal, but it’s also light enough to not weigh you down too much. Also, it’s stupidly simple to make and cooks while you’re doing something else. Just toss all the ingredients in a slow cooker except the spinach (which will overcook if you let it cook for hours). Then set it on high and forget it for a few hours! At the end of the day, this is humble comfort food at its best. Easy to make, even easier to eat, and ready when you want it to be ready. Also, speaking from experience, little kids like this soup a lot. It’s got interesting pieces in it that they can pick out and the flavors are simple and delicious.
