Italian Wedding Soup With Cheesy Chicken Sausage Meatballs

Chicken Noodle Soup, Dressed for an Italian Wedding

Growing up, my Uncle Bob used to make his family's famous Italian Wedding Soup. My cousin passed the recipe on to me several years ago, and I love to revisit its soulful flavors and share with family and friends at holiday time. This soup is inspired by my uncle's traditional recipe, using Garden Fresh Gourmet® Chicken Noodle with Kale Soup as a base. The meatballs are easy to make, and they are full of flavor from the chicken sausage and turkey mixed with a good amount of Romano cheese.
