This was delicious! One of my first few attempts at making soup, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, except I omitted the potato, and substituted cooked orzo in its place. I cooked the orzo separately, then just put a spoonful in the bottom of each bowl. I thought the orzo went more with the Italian soup idea than potatoes... But definitely a do-again.

Excellent! I added 1 Tbsp. grated orange zest and 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and omitted the vanilla. These flavors were nice additions to the nutmeg and cranberry. Next time I will add more cranberries (1 1/2 cups) and pecans (3/4 cup) plus maybe a little more orange zest.
