A classic favorite in American diners and Italian restaurants. This is a delicious soup that highlights the perfect pairing of meat and vegetables.

The Origin of This Recipe
This soup was popularized by Italian immigrants. Originally, it was made with chicken, but many recent American recipes use ground meat, which I also prefer. I've combined the best aspects of various recipes to make it at home.
