"This is THE LAMB SOUP for a quiet, intimate evening on a rainy day. My family uses white burgundy wine which blends wonderfully with the vegetables and ends up tasting a bit sweet. Children wont even know there's wine in the soup. Celery gives a rustic, fresh taste. TRULY, WONDERFUL RUSTIC TASTING SOUP. Got the recipe from Pietro Petroni's : The Complete Book of Florentine Cooking while I was in Florence."

Excellent! A very flavorful homestyle soup enhanced with white wine. I made double the recipe, except for the noodles. I used purchased fine egg noodles and subbed chardonnay for the white burgundy. I served the soup with rustic Italian bread and couldn't resisting dipping it into the lamb flavored broth. DH gave it 6 stars! Thanks Polar Bear for this treasure.
