Recipe By Slurrp

Also known as ‘minestra maritata’ (which translates to ‘wedded broths’), Italian wedding soup is not actually served at Italian weddings. The name of the dish refers to the amalgamation of its many flavours, which are all simmered together. Italian wedding soup originated in the southern Italian region of Campania. In Campania, various iterations of the dish can be found and are connected to traditional rituals. In Naples, the soup is prized for being restorative and is served for the Feast of Santo Stefano on December 26. The version from Naples is known for having more meat, due to the abundance of meat in the area as compared to its rural counterparts. Along the Amalfi Coast, Italian wedding soup is a staple during Christmas and Easter. The ingredients used are seasonal, making the soup very different in different seasons. Some people consider it exclusively a winter dish, while others embrace it all year round.
