If you are ever in Ohio and stop by my parents farm in the winter you are guaranteed to see some soup cooking on the stove. There is nothing better than coming home after a cold day to the smell of something amazing that is warm and ready to go. I had the pleasure of having my parents here last year for the holidays and during our big New Years party my mom decided to cook her famous Wedding Soup. We had one of the top restaurants in LA cater the party, but the thing everyone had to have was my moms soup. Wedding soup or Italian wedding soup is an Italian-American soup consisting of green vegetables and meat. It is popular in the United States, where it is a staple in many Italian restaurants and our home.
