It was pretty good for me making it...but something was missing. I did listen to the other users who said to use cilantro, and added more rice than what it says.

This soup was wonderful! Only made a few minor changes. We put some fresh chopped basil and spinach into the meatball mixture (will probably add in some Tony Chachere's seasoning next time for a bit more flavor). We also browned the meatballs a bit. In the soup we put in more fresh basil and cilantro. As suggested by others we did add in some cumin; wanted to add in some chipotle chili powder but the green salsa we used gave the soup plenty of heat (couldn't make it too hot or kids couldn't eat it). We also just cooked some rice on the side and then everyone placed as much rice as they wanted and then poured the soup on top. Flavorful and delicious. Can't wait to eat the leftovers.

The taste of this soup was great, however I was not able to make the meatballs stick at all. I wanted to use the suggestion of rolling out like a snake...it was not happening. I then added another beaten egg and more corn meal, again not happening...any suggestions? I did use a lb sausage and added 1/2 cup brown rice to the meatballs and 1/2 cup to the soup with diced carrots and celery. Again the taste was great, but presentation not so much. Help, I would love to make this again.

I made this soup the other day,and really enjoyed it, taking bits from other reviews and adding a few of my own. I made my own beef stock with beef shanks,instead of using the 6 cans of stock. I Removed the shanks before adding meatballs. Because I hate touching raw dround meat ,and don't like rolling meatballs the tip from viewer to make a snake shape roll snip and roll in bowl,worked great making uniform sized meatballs without ever touching my hands!, I also added lots of cilantro, especially fresh cilantro with every serving it really grabs the flavors and brings them out. I only used half a can of the green chile and it was spicy but not overwhelmingly. This recipe makes a big pot, therefore I did not add rice to pot as I knew it would take a few days to eat, we are a family of four and we are still enjoying this soup three days in,we just put it over a fresh bowl of rice everytime.

Just okay, something was missing? Maybe coriander? Tasted really acidic to me, followed directions only thing I added was some addional salt and some carrots for some texture.

Absolutely delicious! My boys all loved this soup; it's a delightful change from stews and such. Only change I made was to use cilantro in place of basil; the rice does tend to sink, so next time I may make rice, put it in the bowls first, then ladle the soup over it. Overall, though, this recipe is a keeper!

my boyfriend is mexican and had been begging me to make this soup. He loved it but I thought it was just ok...it needed more spice. I added carrots and celery,but I think I will do an Italian Wedding meatball next time, with spinach and the small pasta.

I really liked this recipe. I added carrots and cilantro at the end. The meat balls were really good. I used SPG to season them. Equal parts salt, pepper, granulated garlic. My kids even ate all this. BIG DEAL around here.

My family has made this soup for years but the is by far the best recipe!!!! I think it has alot to do with the green salsa and also the use of cornmeal mixed in with the meatballs. It is so yummy and it gets even better the next day. I made this step by step as suggested and I do not think it needs any addtions. My family was very happy. Thank you for the recipe...it is a keeper.

This was pretty good. I followed the recipe except used leftover rice. My husband and I both like it, and it will be a good starting off point for other soups. Next time we'll add some veggies like corn or who knows what. This makes a LOT of soup, but it's good stuff, even leftover the next day. Thanks!

We were in the mood for soup and I just happened across this recipe! It is awesome! I used chorizo sausage and my meatballs came out really sticky and hard to roll, so maybe that's why. I wanted to put it in the slow cooker, so I simmered the meat balls in a pan with 2 cans beef broth, skimmed off the fat, and added it to the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker. I let it cook around 6 hours on high and it was awesome. I added cooked rice to the bowls of soup as I was serving them, and topped it with some cheese and tortilla strips! Yummy!

Absolutely delicious...I doubled the recipe and served this soup for guests and all went back for seconds. There was a small amount leftover, so I added several ears' worth of fresh-from-the-garden corn and my husband and I finished it off the next day. This is a definite keeper!

I had a hard time rating this recipe. It made a very good soup however, it was VERY greasy. It was so greasy that we ate very little of it. I checked the recipe to make sure I did not miss a step - and I didn't. The next day I took all the grease off and heated it up and it was MUCH better.
