ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP

No, zuppa di matrimonio isn't just for weddings, though it was first served during such occasions in Pittsburgh, it's now known all over. The green vegetables and meat “si sposano bene”, meaning that they go really well together. Make it on any occasion, big or small. Even if this soup won’t guarantee a happily ever after, there are still plenty of things to love about it.
