I love Italian Wedding soup, and this is almost exactly how I make it. Mind you I am not at all Italian, so I don't worry about authenticity since I have no one to tell me how to do it right. I watched Rachael Ray make it once years and years ago and I adjusted the recipe to make it how I like it. I always saute some celery with the onion and carrots since I always put celery in soup. And I always use fresh baby spinach, usually because it is on sale in the large plastic container. The first couple of days I make spinach salad, and then I make soup with what is left. Sometimes I even use whole wheat orzo. This soup is so comforting and filling. Love it. Can't wait to try the rolls too. They look great. I love making braided loaves. The three strand braid I have mastered, but any suggestions for the 4 strand braid like I've seen on most challah recipes? I can not seem to get that.
Lish, take a look at our challah blog for illustrated instructions for a 4-strand braid... You didn't think we'd let you down here, did you? :) PJH
