Well I found a good sounding recipe for similar sounding stuff over on the Soup Forum..but then I posted it on FB and Cappy say this is crappy Eyetalian Wedding soup..dont make that stuff..blah blah blah. I was kinda intimidated to say the least. I may change my mind since yall are braggin on it and the spouter of all knowledge seems to be an imbred peckerwood from the Carolinas who surely aint an exspurt on such matters. I have decided to make some just to test the various hypothesis. Or maybe yall could make it and repoat back? Thanks. If Canellies and canned navy beans is the same thing..believe it would be doable for most of us'uns. Now I am pressed for time.
