Author Notes:	This soup, which is based on a traditional Italian Wedding soup, is a refreshing change to ordinary chicken soup (if there is a such a thing). It also freezes well, so make extra and have hot soup anytime.

Instructions:	Bring lemon juice and zest, chicken stock, garlic wine and minced vegetables to a boil in a stockpot. Simmer 10 minutes. Add chicken, pasta and Italian seasoning and cook for about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until pasta is tender, about 5 minutes. Serve topped with grated cheese.
