Not really Italian Wedding Soup
Ingredients
1 batch TVP
neatballsOnions, cut in medium slices and then quartered. About 2 cups, more or less
1-2 tablespoons of oil for sautéing
6-8 cups water
2-3 bouillon cubes, any flavor (the large ones that are meant to flavor 2 cups of water apiece)
Black pepper to taste
A dash of Worcestershire sauce (optional, omit for vegetarians, or use vegetarian Worcestershire)
Half a bag of frozen chopped spinach, or a double handful of fresh
Instructions
Heat the oil in a pot big enough to hold everything
Sauté the onions briefly - you don’t need to brown them much, or at all - just stir them around for a few minutes to get them started cooking - this is important for the flavor
Add the water, bouillon cubes and seasonings
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer, covered, for 10 minutes
Toss in the spinach and neatballs, simmer another 2-3 minutes until everything is hot.
