Wedding Soup Recipe
In Eastern Ohio (near Pittsburgh), Wedding Soup is a favorite. In fact, it's the only place I've found in the entire United States where it's served at Olive Garden! It's a staple in every Italian Restaurant in our area (and there are a LOT of Italian restaurants here)
This is not the Olive Garden recipe, and many of the local restaurants put carrots and celery in as well as the ingredients you'll see below. This recipe is "family size," but you can cut it down if you'd like to make it for just a few.
