Let's Make Italian Wedding Soup With Jersey's Own Julia Molinari!

Who doesn't love a good bowl of homemade soup?

Jersey's own Julia Molinari recently shared an entertaining and informative cooking demonstration of her authentic homemade Italian wedding soup on TikTok.

When Molinari, 19, is in the mood for a specific food, she always makes it from scratch! Even if it's late at night, she's known to make whatever she's craving and shares her demonstration on TikTok with her 1.9 million followers.

"I'm in the mood for an authentic, traditional, Italian dinner," she said. "I'm just kidding. It's not Italian at all. Italian wedding soup."

She first starts out by chopping parsley, which is something Molinari uses in pretty much every homemade dish she creates, and a lot of it! Her adorable cat even made a quick cameo as she was about to start chopping.

After chopping a generous amount of parsley, Molinari demonstrated how she makes her homemade meatballs for the soup.

"Doesn't really matter what meat you use, as long as you season it well," she said as she grabbed two packs of meat. "I will be using pork and beef, cause that's what I like."

In addition to the meat, Molinari added unseasoned breadcrumbs, "a lot," freshly grated cheese, seasonings, and an egg to her mixing bowl and then used her bare hands to mix and form the mini meatballs.

Molinari then chopped up carrots, onion, escarole, and fresh garlic, before she began rolling her tiny meatballs, which is typically the star of a good bowl of Italian wedding soup.

She said she uses homemade chicken stock for her soup and showed the type of noodles she uses before adding it all together I n the pot on the stove. The freshly made homemade soup looked so good, you could almost smell it through the video.

Her video quickly received more than 80,000 views and hundreds of comments from her loyal followers.

One person asked, "How do you motivate yourself to cook by yourself? I find preparing the stuff alone always quite boring." Another viewer said, "I just ate and now I'm hungry again."

When Molinari isn't in the kitchen whipping up something amazing and delicious, she's often found on the beach at the Jersey shore or in the water. She recently ventured far from her normal stomping ground in Jersey to visit Hawaii.

The teen chef and content creator shared photos and videos from her time in Waialua, Hawaii on Instagram.

She also shared a few posts from her time snorkeling in the crystal blue water of Oahu, Hawaii.

"That's not terrifying to you? I have nothing but respect for those creatures sharks are amazing but that's wild," one person said about her snorkeling photos.

Another added, "Even the sharks understand you're gorgeous and flock to you."

Molinari somehow managed to combine both her loves, being near the beach and making pizza, with a local Hawaii pizza chef who's originally from South Bronx, New York, giving a little feeling of home for the Jersey girl.

The two made a pepperoni pizza together and Molinari shared the experience in a video on both Instagram and TikTok, tagging Manna Pizza Hawaii.

"That’s a great pizza! Well done," one person wrote on Instagram. A TikTok viewer said, "You need a show where you travel around the world making pizza at all the different pizza establishments!!"
