Crockpot Italian Wedding Soup Recipe
ThisĀ Crock Pot Italian Sausage Wedding Soup Recipe is delicious and so easy to make!
Rich and hearty this soup is filling. You can easily add in more pasta if you want to spread it out farther. If you add in extra pasta just watch your liquid and make sure the pasta does not absorb it all.
I added in close to 2 cups of small pasta the last time I made this instead of just a cup. I really wanted the Italian Wedding Soup to be super filling. Plus this way we had leftovers and I didn’t have to cook lunch the next day which is always a win.
If you add in extra pasta you may need to keep adding in some extra chicken stock. I add in the chicken stock and let it continue cooking on warm on the counter for a while. John tends to go back for a 2nd bowl and then a snack bowl while this soup is set out.

Can the sausage be put into the crock pot without cooking it first?
