This Vegan Italian Wedding Soup is a cozy, comforting dish made with vegan meatballs, and acini de pepe pasta. It’s a hearty, nourishing, soup for cold weather.
While the meatballs are baking, in a large pot or dutch oven, sauté the onion, celery, and carrots over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the veggies start to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the garlic, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds.
Add the broth and bring to a boil.
When the broth is boiling, add the pasta and cook at a boil according to the package instructions.
Serve the soup. Add meatballs by the bowl and garnish with parsley. Only add meatballs to dish as needed for serving or they will get soggy - store meatballs separately.
