This would be a very hardy soup. Corn meal to make meatballs is a different twist. Why would you mix everything for ten minutes? That seems excessive. Does it matter what you stuff in the middle of the meatball? Since I have never heard of this, I don't have a clue what would work and what wouldn't.

the way my mom taught me to make wedding soup is make a basic chicken soup take meat off cooked chicken add back to soup.. take abbout a lb of ground beef and make marble sized meatballs, drop them in the simmering chicken broth.. then clean and cut up escarole the dark parts only and simmer longer until the escarole and meatballs are cooked.. and season. thats it.. and i am italian. :-)
