Caveperson’s Wedding Soup (paleo)

” When a caveperson was attracted to another caveperson, all s/he did was club him/her over the head and drag him/her off to a cave by the hair. It was that simple, and had the great advantage of leaving the clubbed one in absolutely no doubt that s/he was lust-worthy.”

Then they hunted, gathered, made wedding soup and ate it…..

This is my PALEO version of italian wedding soup.

Here’s the recipe

This soup is even tastier the next day. Kids loved it, especially because they rolled the meatballs for me.
