    I used all ground turkey, used Kale instead of spinach and added a couple of teaspoons of minced garlic to the broth. YUMMY! - 10/31/13

    Swess chaard can also be used in place of escarole or spinach...with any of the greens, it is very nourishing and tasty. - 6/22/11

    my family recipe is essential the same, the only difference is first i saute some onion, carrots and celery, I also add crushed garlic to the broth. I try to use organic low sodium broth. I also cook my pasta seperately because if there are leftovers the pasta soaks up all the broth. - 1/30/10

    I used one lb. of 90% lean ground beef, baby carrots, and diced tomatoes along with suggested vegies. We like a lot of vegies in our soup it was wonderful. - 7/6/09

    I don't eat veal. Can I just add double of one of the other two meats, or use ground chicken or turkey instead?
