When we go to Joe’s parents’ restaurant, I am always craving Italian Wedding Soup. Because I haven’t incorporated much meat into my diet, besides fish, I usually stay away from the Italian Wedding Soup. As a side note, I have been eating a little meat because I have actually had cravings for it. I think if your body is craving something, you should fill the crave. I definitely think that means your body is telling you something, so listen up! Anyway, I wanted to make a soup that would be similar to the one at the restaurant, but one that didn’t include meat. First thing that came to mind was tempeh. I crumbled the tempeh making it represent the meatballs in the regular Italian Wedding Soup. I also added carrots and celery, which I know aren’t typical of Italian Wedding Soup. Still, it tasted good and totally hit the spot when you have a craving for Italian Wedding Soup sans the meat.
