I'm not sure where the name of this soup originated, but my aunt in Pennsylvania shared the recipe with me. Even in our hot-Florida climate, this soup always satisfies. Family and friends frequently ask me to prepare it. - Nancy Ducharme, Deltona, Florida

This is the best wedding soup recipe I've tried to date as I've been searching now for awhile. I made two changes; cut back on the beef by 50% and doubled the spinach.

So simple yet elegant soup! You will not be disappointed in this.. I used italian breadcrumbs and more spinach (i love spinach) than called for. It tastes as delicious the next day too!!

Outstanding! Get so many requests for this soup! Now, I just brown some frozen meatballs and toss them in. Also, for the person who said it's too salty, you can control that by using low salt chicken broth and adding salt to your taste. As for me, I love it just the way it is!
