Lidia Bastianich Instagram – Celebrate Like an Italian – Classic Italian Wedding Soup. In the dialect of the Lucani (as natives of Basilicata are known) maritare means “to wed,” and I have always thought that this wonderful soup was so named because it was customarily served at wedding celebrations. Recently, however, I came upon another explanation of why it is called maritata—because it weds vegetables (in the soup base) with meat (in the polpette), and with this added protein it becomes a complete and balanced one-course meal! Join me in my kitchen as I prepare this classic recipe that marries vegetables and meatballs in a hearty, delicious soup! Link to video in my bio. Buon Gusto!
