CROCK POT ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

Steps:

• Meatballs: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Form into very small balls (I get approximately 90 meatballs from 1 pound ground beef. I bake mine on a nonstick cookie sheet and turn them half-way through the cooking time).
• Bake about 10-15 minutes, until the meatballs have browned but are still soft (watch closely).
• Remove from oven and drain on paper towel, if necessary.
• Soup: Place all of the ingredients, except the pasta and escarole or spinach, into the crock pot with meatballs.
• Cook on low for 8 hours (Add pasta and escarole or spinach during the last hour of cooking and salt to taste, if necessary).
• Remove bay leaves.
• Top each serving with grated parmesan or romano cheese.
• Note: The meatballs must be prepared before being put into the crock pot (make them the night before and put them in the refrigerator, or even keep a batch in the freezer. I basically prepare as much as I can in advance so all I have to do is just put it all in the crock pot in the morning).
