  1. I grew up on this!! I do add an extra egg and beat some of the grated Romano into the eggs prior to adding. Also use a little garlic powder but essentially the same and great!!
     
  2. Quick, easy, and after making it once, had it memorized. Good for a meal, or a starter.
     
  3. Used elbow macaroni instead of orzo and it still came out great! Also did 2 eggs instead of 1, and a little Italian seasoning.<br/><br/>Tastes like a much better version of Progresso's Italian Style Wedding soup, except without the mini chicken meatballs.
     
  4. MMMM - just like Grandma used to make! I couldn't find a 16 oz. package of spinach, so I had to use 20 oz. I did not drain it, though. I also used 2 eggs and low-sodium chicken broth, as well as plenty of parmesan cheese. This couldn't be easier, and just tastes so comforting and healthy! Thanks for sharing this recipe that I will be making often!
     
  5. This soup was served as a soup and sandwich lunch. It was perfect. I did add some Italian seasoning and reduced the recipe to serve 2 to 3. Made for PAC Spring 2008.
