Blueprint: The Ultimate Italian Wedding Soup – Bone Broth, Gluten-Free, Gut-Healing, and Low-Glycemic
Introduction & Concept
This Italian Wedding Soup is a gut-healing, gluten-free, and low-glycemic masterpiece. Traditionally, Italian Wedding Soup is made with meatballs, leafy greens, and a rich broth, but we’re elevating it with nourishing bone broth, anti-inflammatory herbs, and gut-friendly ingredients. This soup is comforting yet light, protein-packed, and perfect for digestion, making it an ideal meal for any season.
This version will use gluten-free meatballs, anti-inflammatory spices, and low-glycemic vegetables, while keeping all the traditional flavors intact. The bone broth base provides collagen, amino acids, and minerals, supporting gut health, joint health, and immune function.
