This recipe for wedding soup is doubly delicious with tiny beef meatballs and tender shredded chicken.

1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg white
8 cups water
3 (6-ounces each) skinned chicken breast halves
1 cup loosely packed spinach leaves
3/4 cup sliced celery
3/4 cup tomato, peeled seeded and
2/3 cup thinly sliced carrot
1 large onion, quartered
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, and stir well. Shape mixture into 56 (3/4-inch) meatballs. Set meatballs aside. Combine 8 cups water and next 8 ingredients in a large Dutch oven.
Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
