My Wedding Soup Recipe:
Fill a large pot with water. Add chicken
I then add a tablespoon ( or to taste) of chicken favored soup base & pepper. Let cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Then take the chicken out, let cool and then I break it up into pieces and add back into the soup. In the meantime I make my mini meatballs and add them directly into the soup raw… they cook rather quickly and they will float to the top.
If you don’t have a delicious meatball mix like the one I used… Then here is my recipe for my homemade Meatballs:
1 egg per pound of meatball mix ( I buy a mix of ground beef and ground pork from the meat department )
1 & 1/2 cups of Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup of parm. Cheese
Season with chopped fresh garlic
Parsley
S & P
Then Add pastina ( not cooked ), again it’s really up to you on how much you want. I add about a cup to my large pot. Let it cook for a bit and then I add one or two packages of thawed frozen spinach (be sure to squeeze out all of the excess water from the spinach before adding it to the soup)
Combine 2 to 3 eggs with a cup of Pecorino Romano cheese. Then slowly add it to the mixture as you constantly stir.
I taste the soup as it cooks, you may want to add a few more tablespoons of the soup base for added flavor, though taste test it first.
I hope this all makes sense… lol. I make it so often I can make it in my sleep!

“Kristmas Karen” is a daily gift🎄🎁💕And “naughty but nice” Archie is adorable🐶🥰 Merry Christmas & Thank you for sharing this season with us🙌🏻🙏🏻💖
Karen I’m a native New Yorker. Before I left New York for years I used to work right across the street from the Ice Skating rink at Rockefeller Center. Every year it was so exciting to witness the transformation of the tree!

How cool is that!!!
I don’t know where you get your energy to do all that you do in a day! 😊 Love watching!!!😍😍😍😍
It was ME who told you that nothing was in my #4 slot!!! I can't believe that we BOTH got bogus calendars! You handled it WAY better than I did. I was SO bummed! Your reaction was hilarious! I have emailed QVC about it and I will email you if I hear back. I hope we didn't miss a product that we'd both WANT! LOL!
Doing my chemo and watch you, guys. Even during my infusion, like right now. What an inspiration for me these days... Loving everything. Love you borh!❤❤

You made the comment about the other viewers day 4 being empty, then you sounded like you were in shock! To find yours empty... every time you put your finger in on the plastic like it was going to magically appear I was cracking up and then hearing you laugh was the best. Thanks for keeping it so real.
Oh my gosh Karen, your wedding soup recipe looks amazing, thank you so much for sharing this with us 😊 What the heck? nothing in #4 for your Advent Calendar!.......thanks again girl💗
We do the same thing with our ham bone from our Christmas (and Easter) ham. We freeze it for bean soup later. I also freeze the leftover bones, and whatever, from a rotisserie chicken to make stock for soups or anything I need broth for. I was raised by a mother & grandmother that taught us to not waste a thing! LOL! Your soup looked delicious, and even though we are enjoying a few days of mild weather here in NC, I might just have to try making that!. Now, I'm off to make myself a cup of tea because you made me want a nice cup of tea!
Omg, I was in stitches when you opened that empty slot. Great vlog as usual. Definitely have to try that soup recipe. 🥣

You look fabulous for going out marketing!!! I was distracted by sweet little Archie when you first started vlogging. He’s so cute!! Enjoying all the videos and thank you for sharing with us! It’s always fun to come along! Blessings and love from South Carolina.♥️
OMG...Karen, it's Saturday, December 7th. I just finished making your Wedding Soup and did my final taste test. I can hardly wait til dinner, it's so delicious. I have to tell you the only thing that stumped me for a sec was how to squeeze the water out of the spinach. LOL..then " light bulb" I put it in a mesh strainer and pressed it with a spoon Ta Da. I will be making this apart of my fall and winter menus. Thank You..Big Hugs !!
Love you in your pretty jacket walking in the snow. Love wedding soup, yummmmmm!
So true what you said about people who hate,,thank you for that !!!!made me think keep away from negative people!!
Love you’re red 💄..... Just love you Karen. You look so Festive walking in the snow.❄️❄️
I just love all the festive things you are taking a part of! So fun! And I wish I had half the energy as you!! Hahaha!
Love love love your openings. Some have decided to go more simple but I miss the awesome Christmas openings. Wish I had an Italian market near me but I will try to get ingredients to make that wonderful wedding soup…YUM! Thank you always to you all for taking the time to do these vogmas’ ❤️🎄
Your vlogs have been great. I love your lippy cocktail. I may need to get this! I love a hardy Italian Wedding soup too. I will make your version. I love that you add the chicken back into the soup! When I make stock base I use onion carrot, celery, and I place a bundle of parsley, sage, thyme and a couple bay leaf tied with cotton butcher string. Then I let it come to a boil and let it come to a boil and let it gently simmer for 3-4 hours. I also skim it periodically and remove the chicken then strain the liquid from all the veggies and it comes out full of flavor. The egg and parm cheese mixture sounds wonderful. Tfs.
Oh my goodness Karen drawer 4 hit the nail on the head today and I am going to pray tonight for a few people that have unsettled hearts perfect timing! THANK YOU!!!🙏🙏❤️❤️
Karen I always wear gloves when I wash dishes! They save my hands! Especially in the winter! We grow Swiss chard & blanch it and freeze it. It really comes in handy in the winter when we’re ready to make Wedding soup. I have had hard boiled eggs in wedding soup. I have never heard of the way you did it, will have to try that.
I need those earrings in my life. Hope you can get more in!!

We go to the Rockefeller tree lighting every year. Last night was so cold, but fun! My husband an d i make a day of it with shopping and dinner. We live about 40 minutes away. A appetizer i serve often is crab salad on cucumber rounds or crackers with a small slice of avocado on the top. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Have a great day!

Your advent..calendar....my daughter bought me a similar one....12ish years ago.....I still fill with Hershey's candy....the grandbabies are teenagers now..so they aren't here every day now.......but...hubby enjoys...1 chocolate...at night!😂🤣
Thanks for sharing your soup recipe. It looks much better than I’ve seen at restaurants. Can’t wait to make it and I’m sure one of my daughters will luv it also. The snow is fun when lite and can still drive around to shop. ❤️
Awww love the lipstick 👍 You’re an inspiration to me .... love your channel !!!!!Karen you are addicting to watch Lol glad I found your channel happy holidays
Hey Karen! Those lippie colors are perfect on you! I am in such a mood for wedding soup! Been so busy too! Everywhere I go is super crowded and long lines! Gotta get it done though! I love the snow however my kids live up in the mountains in New Jersey and have had no power since Monday night! They can't even get here because the trees are down crossing the roads. We feel helpless but will be able to get up there this weekend and help with whatever they need! Hubby is going to hook up a generator to their main panel.....we thought a generator would be the perfect gift for them! Ziggy has been going in the pantry and helping himself to his treats...had to move them up two shelves! I can't leave garbage out or he would get to it like Archie. Your soup looks outrageous! Yum! I think I'll put uoma pot for New Year's Eve so when our guests come in they can start with the soup! We are hosting 10 friends. I have a pre programmed electric piano that I will let play. My party starts at 7 too! We are catering Italian food and my guests are each bringing an appetizer and dessert. Should be great! Great vlog hon! Hugs! Xo
Archie was probably hoping you would accidentally drop a meatball!! Thanks for the recipe. Have a great day. 😁🎄🎁
Hi Karen! Enjoying vlogmas and praying that you get more of those gorgeous earrings in. Have a fabulous day!
The wedding soup looks delicious. Definitely want to try. I love those earrings.... hopefully they will get more down the road. Like the lip color and your ugg boots. See you in the next one♥️🎄🎅. Hugs and I'm glad you liked the recipe 😊 Pam.

Thank you soooo much for doing Vlogmas. That soup looks amazing. Watching your Vlogmas makes me happy...helps me change the stress of this season for me into fun. SO appreciate that!
Italian Wedding Soup is my fave!!!! Thank you for answering my movie question. Sooo fun!!! I just got home from the tree lighting in Rockefeller. I have gone every year for the last 10. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s vlog. Have a great night.
I can't wait to make that soup Karen. It looks way more hearty than any other wedding soup I've ever seen and looks super yummy. I'll definitely let you know how it turns out. Thanks.
I nearly died laughing about the Number 4 on the advent......my Mom has the same one and I kid you not....hers was empty too. That is crazy. The soup looked absolutely amazing.

I can't wait to make the Italian Wedding Soup. I have tried some of the recipes you and Lauren have shared, like the vegetable medley for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Loved the apples in it. Thank you for sharing your time with us Karen, you always bring such joy, God knows I needed a little cheer, I lost one of my sisters this last week and it has been hard to get into the Christmas spirit. Can't wait to see how Lauren's house painting turns out. God Bless.

I kinda squealed when I noticed your new vlog!! My kids laugh... so I get in my jammies and get into bed.. I warn my Husband that it’s my “video time” and I just watch in peace!! ❤️🎄
The wedding soup, sounds delicious, it's my breakfast time and I could eat it now haha. I'm not a big fan of red lippy on me, but you so suit it 💄. What a great idea for a new years Eve party, I'm sure you will have a great time. ♥️
Revlon’s “Wine With Everything” is a great lipstick for the holidays, is more hydrating, and goes with almost everything!

I love a Red lipstick!💄 Karen the Red lipstick was very flattering on you. I love mixing lipstick colors, I usually always mix three colors minimum!
Hahaha you had my cracking up over the QVC calendar! Glad you found the product tho. Your make your wedding soup like my mom, no Italian in her at all, but boy she should have been, the only thing she did different, was made homemade croutons for the top. Oh how I wish I could find her recipe for the croutons. I know it had cheese garlic eggs, if I find it I'll post it, in case you would like to try it. Thank you for reminding me of my momma. 🌹❤️
Wedding soup looks delicious! I will have to try it.

I can't wait to make this soup! I told my husband that I didn't have time to go to work today bc I needed to go pickup ingredients from an Italian Market lol I love your red lippy by MAC. So funny when you opened door 4 in the QVC advent calendar and it was empty but I am so glad you found it. LOL Merry Christmas Karen!
Love watching your videos & anything 2 Orchids. Thank you for sharing yesterday how you do your brows. Tried your tips this morning & was amazed. Purchased the fuzzy pink sweater from your online boutique & order a top & bag from Baby Chloe’s Closet, can’t wait for the items to arrive.
I make my homemade chicken soup in a pressure cooker using the whole chicken, an onion, 2 celery stalks, & a can of whole tomatoes, & about 6 boullion cubes. When done I strain it & discard the veggies! So rich & delish! Your soup looks amazing! Love the music you chose so much! Loving your vlogmas videos!❤️
Karen, I agree with you. Love Actually is the best Christmas movie ever!!
I love love love your vlogmas everyday Karen! Never miss one video!

😂#4 empty?? I couldn't help but laugh. Glad you didn't get ripped off 😂 As for finger food ideas, my family and friends LOVES a great meat and cheese board. I know it's not original, but SO easy and I love just loading it down with various meats, cheeses, crackers, and fruit spreads.

I had stayed up to watch you tonight. I am half polish and half French. I am going to make your wedding soup this Sunday. It looks delish! My husband came home and surprised me early with one of my Christmas gifts and told me he bought me a new red BMW car! I am picking it up on Saturday. Its red 3 series with black inside and is loaded with all the new technology. Now I can race him on the highway and win! Lol....
Sit a finger mail file near your advent calendars so you can just pop the item out. Hope you find the qvc box 4 item. Too expensive to not get it. Ha
I’m definitely going to try the soup and my favorite Christmas movie is It’s a wonderful life❤️
You are the best!!! Good cheer and blessings to you - just love these vlogs and I follow Christopher Allen as well - cheers!! BTW- my #4 was there and did not slip - keep checking that it slipped.
I will be making this soup this weekend!!!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful day 4 vlogmas...have a wonderful day 💯👑❤️🙏🏻🎄🎄🎄🎄
I simply Love that lip color on you! Your Little Granddaughters photo is So Adorable also
The soup looks amazing!
I will email you two of my favorite appetizers hanky-panky‘s those are super easy and mushroom tarts take a little bit more time but you can freeze them and use them anytime as you just pop them in the toaster oven and reheat them when company arrives they are so yummy if you love mushrooms!!!! You crack me up on that empty advent calendar and I’m so glad you found it later❤️ By the way I went back to meander Hill yesterday to get my candle😂🎅🎄.
