Description
This recipe was adapted from a copycat website with the help of a very sweet italian grandma. She was not happy with the listed ingredients, and voiced loudly until her changes were made. Lol. It is a wonderful soup! You could freeze some/all of this before adding the pasta. This makes a lot.
