Italian Wedding Soup
You might think that Italian Wedding Soup is what is served at Italian weddings, but in fact the soup’s title is actually a reference to the perfect marriage between the green vegetables and the meat. This recipe uses ground chicken for the meatballs simmered in flavorful broth with pasta and escarole.

Let the pressure drop NATURALLY for ten minutes, then release any residual pressure and carefully remove the lid. Let the soup sit for a couple of minutes and then spoon off any fat that rises to the surface. Stir in the shredded escarole to wilt and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in bowls with grated Parmesan cheese on top. To make on the Stovetop: Sweat the onions and carrots in a stock pot or Dutch oven. Add the seasonings and the stock and simmer for ⏱️ 30 minutes.
