    I saw Rocco make this soup on the cooking network. it was crazy easy. We all loved it. I havent reheated it so no sure if it will be too salty

    THIS IS THE SOUP MY MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER MADE.
    WE NEVER CALLED IT "ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP" IT WAS JUST "ESCAROLE SOUP". AND WHEN YOU SAID THAT, EVERYONE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING.
    THANKS FOR KEEPING THINGS AUTHENTIC. I LOVE IT!!

    I love making this soup since it's so quick and easy to whip up. I substituted the grated parm with shredded for the whole recipie and I think it flavors the soup much better. Next I'm going to try adding the pork to it.

    It was easy, fast and pretty good making it a keeper. I substitute frozen spinach so it's an easy to make recipe year round. I skip the eggs and cheese mixture although I ADORE IT. My son is highly allergic to Milk and Eggs so I use silken tofu cut into tiny squares instead. It cuts the fat and salt and adds tons of iron and protein. As the tofu disintegrates, it imitates the look of the cheese/egg mixture is is quite "creamy" on the tongue.

    I omitted the 5 eggs and cream to be stirred in at the end and instead I added Orzo pasta and sprinkled parmesan cheese on top, yum!

    This was a great and easy soup. I added pastina to it - for some reason I felt that was appropriate. Going to try Gloria's recipe next.

    Soup was exactly what I was expecting. I did notice that if the soup is reheated, it will get saltier, probally the parmasan released its salt.
    One time when I made it, the pork and beef was substititued with ground turkey, the meatballs were very much like sweedish meetbals

    Very good flavor. I replaced the egg with orzo which was good, but needs to be cooked separate or it will suck up your soup.

    The soup was very tasty. I added 2/3 cup orzo because I wanted to add a little pasta. The soup was very thick so I added a little extra broth too.
