The bowl of soup in the\u00a0first photo was made with barley but it can be made with orzo or another pasta in its place. Today we opted to not put any grain in the soup and instead served it with whole wheat crackers to balance out the meal. Our meatballs were beef, but we&rsquo;ve had turkey in the past, and it could easily be made with pork or any other ground meat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Italian Wedding Soup (Serves 4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Modified from <a title=\"Italian Wedding Soup Recipe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/italian-wedding-soup-14061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>Meatballs &#8211; 1\/2 to 1 pound of ground meat, prepared and cooked.
