I have been craving Italian Wedding Soup ever since the temperature dropped, but a healthier and, of course, veggie packed version.  Well, here it is my friends.  The hubbs had 3 helpings so it’s safe to say it’s delish!

    This looks fantastic! Just what I need on these cold winter days. If you're looking for a new link party, my co-hosts and I would love to see you over at Show Me Saturday this weekend.

    I would love to try making a vegetarian version of this with vegan "sausage" and chickpeas in place of the chicken. I bet it'd be great!

    • Happily Hughes says

      February 25, 2015 at 11:19 am

      Hannah, if you do please let me know! I'd love to see the results!

    Italian Wedding Soup is one of my favs! This seems like a much healthier alternative! =)

    Looks good. I didn't know they made quinoa noodles. I'll have to see if they carry them in Michigan.

    • Happily Hughes says

      February 25, 2015 at 11:22 am

      Oh I bet they do! They'll be in the pasta aisle in the gluten free section. The multi-colored Ancient Harvest tastes the best!

  12. Farrah says

    February 20, 2015 at 2:41 am

    I've never tried quinoa noodles, but that sounds awesome! Italian Wedding Soup is my second favorite soup in the world! <3

    • Happily Hughes says

      February 25, 2015 at 11:22 am

      Farrah you must try! My mother is not a big quinoa fan and she couldn't even tell they were quinoa noodles.
