There is no meaning to the soup. It's just simply a wedding soup, that I must add is really good!

No real meaning. In fact ... "The term "wedding soup" is a mistranslation of the Italian language, minestra maritata ("married soup"), which is a reference to the fact that green vegetables and meats go well together"

Italian wedding soup actually got its name from an Italian phrase si sposono bene, which means that two things are well married. The combination of the greens and meat in a clear broth was such a nice combination that it became known as wedding soup.
