Your grandma made you chicken soup not italian wedding soup

Bye

the Italians are known for meat balls so maybe its more of an authenticity thing.

she's first gen American from Naples so I'm assuming her methods were as genuine as they come

>>7199632
And you had Mexican wedding cookies after, right?

obviously you two are a little steamed that I've been eating a far superior Italian wedding soup than you ever have and that's ok.

maybe she found out chicken was better and nobodies caught on just yet.

I'm starting to think people don't understand, she used chicken AND meatballs in the soup, not just chicken

I can confirm i am steamed. I get fussy when people claim chicken soup for italian wedding

:^)

Except it's not, it's Italian wedding soup, with chicken in it. It's a chicken stock already, what's so wrong with it.

>>7199632
It's right in wikipedia that is sometimes also has shredded chicken.

As far as traditional goes? It's an american-italian created recipe. It's simply however you wish to make it of course, but your grandma wasn't unique enough that anyone here can call it wrong.

Thanks, that clears up my concerns. I still wonder why the version with chicken isn't more popular though

>>7199726
This is how restaurants get popular. They specialize in one dish thats really good and build a menu around that. Start a restaurant

Honestly, a cook that makes their own stock, the right way to do soup really, is going to debone the chicken carcass and that meat is a little overdone, so it's a homey thing to do. To have a restaurant version that can simmer for hours and not go too far to make that chicken too well done (protein gets tough), then the meatball or sausage is a better bet for them.

I'm sure that's why you see it more ^^ commercially without shredded chicken.

supposed to be made with turkey, not chicken
