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

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!

Very salty, didn't care for meatballs, doesn't compare to the real thing.

Bit hit with everyone in my family. I've been asked for this recipe more often than any other. Tastes just as good warmed up the next day.
