Creating the Best Ever Italian Wedding Soup is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Make the Meatballs: In a mixing bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and form into small meatballs.

2. Brown the Meatballs: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides. Remove from the pot and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, toss in the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.

4. Add Broth and Herbs: Pour in the chicken broth and add dried oregano and basil. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Cook the Pasta: Once boiling, stir in the pasta of choice and cook according to package instructions, usually 7-10 minutes.

6. Add Meatballs and Greens: Return the meatballs to the pot and stir in the spinach or kale. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens wilt.

7. Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional grated Parmesan if desired.

These comprehensive steps will guide you in crafting a rich and hearty Italian Wedding Soup that delights everyone at your table.
