My vegan Italian wedding soup recipe features little veggie sausage meatballs, toothsome pasta, and a light, but still incredibly savory, broth that’s enriched with umami-loaded miso. In my typical style, I enhance this comforting and hearty pot of soup with extra veggies—very similar to my Vegan Minestrone! This wholesome and cozy take on the classic needs about 30 minutes to cook on the stove.

The flavor profile of Italian wedding soup is timeless and it’s also just fun to eat. The cute meatballs and teeny-tiny pasta bits mingle with vegetables in every spoonful. What’s not to love? I find that finely diced fennel, while not traditional, feels right at home in this combination. It has the same texture of the typical celery, but that bright anise flavor absolutely shines with our veggie sausage morsels. I’ll never say no to more veg.

You don’t have to make up a separate batch of vegan meatballs for this soup. A well-chosen vegan sausage gives you everything you need from a flavor and texture perspective! Just chop them up, form the bits into balls, and you’re good to go. The veggie sausage also contributes to the soup’s overall flavor, a move you’ll recognize from my Vegan Butternut Squash Zuppa Tosacana.

Escarole makes it’s blog debut with this vegan Italian wedding soup! It’s wild that after 10+ years of doing this, we still have veggies showing up for the first time. You’ll find this one near the leaf lettuce and other bunched greens at grocery stores. It belongs to the chicory family and has a sublimely silky texture when simmered in a soup like this.

I hope that you get a chance to enjoy this one on a chilly evening sometime soon! It is warming to the core.
