    This was not a difficult recipe, and was likely delicious. But there has to be a misprint on the pepper! Before I put it in (I used half) I thought it was too much. An entire TBSP of pepper? I think that coul/should be TSP. Or at least 'to taste'. Now to find out how to tame this soup... - 1/29/13

    My non vegetarian daughters and veggie daughter both love this soup equally. My husband first made it and added chives and parsley to it. Very filling and satifies my cravings for italian wedding soup that I've had every since becoming vegetarian a few years ago. Thanks! - 3/19/09

    Even my non-vegetarian parents loved this soup! I've made it twice, the second time around I added some carrots just for a bit of colour. - 4/16/08
