Origin
The term "wedding soup" comes from the Italian phrase " minestra maritata " ("married soup"), which is a reference to the flavors produced by a combination of green and meat "weddings". The recipe of minestra maritata is also prepared by Lazio and Campania families. Some forms of minestra maritata have long been popular in Toledo, Spain, before pasta became an affordable commodity for most Spaniards. The modern wedding soup is quite a bit lighter than the old Spanish form, which contains more meat than just modern Italian-American meatballs.
