This soup was PERFECT for my neighborhood's Italian Progressive Dinner. (I had 'soup/salad' course). I received rave compliments. I also precooked the meatballs in the oven the night before. Doing that also got this most labor intensive part out of the way. I tried to use a melon baller to shape them, but it really didn't work well for me. I then had this simmer to cook in my crockpot the entire day of the party. Yum!

Hmmmm...As written, it was a bit too vinegary for my taste--but I added a bit more oil and a bit of sugar at the end to even out the taste. I also cooked the cabbage with the vegetables and skipped the blanching step. We enjoyed it.

Thanks for a different twist on oven-baked potatoes. My family enjoyed it. I also cranked up the heat to 400 and cooked a bit longer for a crispier skin.
