This has become one of our new favorite dinners. It is so easy, flavorful, and comforting without being heavy. This soup is a twist on traditional Italian wedding soup. The only cooking involved is blending up the cilantro and onion mixture and the Cuisinart immersion blender makes easy work of that. I used the tall mixing cup with the immersion blender but you could use the mini food processor if you prefer. You toss everything in the slow cooker except for the spinach, cauliflower rice, and feta. Let it cook all day and then the last hour add in the veggies.
The Cuisinart immersion blender is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Below are a few other recipes where it has come in handy.

When buying your frozen meatballs from the store just make sure you are not buying the ones that are loaded with fillers. Take the time to glance at the side of the bag and read the ingredients. Then choose the one with the least amount of hard to pronounce words and questionable ingredients. I hope this easy soup recipe makes it to your table soon. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have and share the recipe on your favorite social channel.
