Slow Cooker Italian Wedding Soup

Wedding soup is actually "married soup" (minestra maritata) which refers to the melding of ingredients and flavors. The crock pot helps enhance that further with its slow cooking time.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I have a problem - I've made this recipe a few times. It slow cooks for 8 hours with the required ingredient listing. However, it seems there isn't enough broth and too much chicken and meatballs. Is 6 cups of broth enough or should I add an extra 1 to 2 cups? Just wondering if the slow cooker (with lid) evaporates the broth over time.
Actually, the opposite should happen. If you have a crock pot with a properly fitting lid you should actually end up with more liquid because it forms steam inside. If you're losing liquid then it may be due to a poor fitting lid.

Wedding soup is one of my favorites! This recipe is pretty good too. I made chicken meatballs (just threw the ingredients together so no real recipe) and made them super tiny with a miniature ice cream scoop. I used spinach because I couldn't find escarole and in fact the kid in the produce dept didn't even know what it was HA! I also cooked the pasta separately and added it during the last 15 minutes because I didn't know how pasta would cook in the crock pot because I wasn't sure it would be hot enough to really cook it right since the soup is cooked on low but it doesn't say to turn it up to cook the pasta.
