ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP SUPPER

In a classic Italian Wedding Soup, the meat marries the vegetables in a broth. Which type of meat and which vegetables are subject to change, according to your arrangements. Chicken goes well with the savory trio of onion, carrot and celery, with meatballs and spinach in supporting roles. -Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania
