Very good. Easy, tasty. We used chicken stock instead of water/beef boullion. It was a great sinus opener! It did taste a lot like our usual salsa, so next time I might try a different type of salsa with a more distinct flavor.

This soup is wonderful! I found it a bit greasy but then I only had regular ground beef, next time I'll buy lean. Other than that it was perfect. I used my own homemade salsa. Perfect for a cold and dreary evening. Thanks for sharing!

Very easy, tasty soup. The meatballs were simple and soaked in the flavor of the broth very well.

This recipe arrived on a cold windy day which made it a great soup day. So I used what I had, ground turkey rather than beef (added a bit of raisins and crushed garlic to the turkey meatballs), frozen green peppers, a can of chopped tomatoes and a packet of taco seasoning mix rather than salsa, and a can of black beans for extra protien. It was delish ! Thanks.

Love this recipe, Belen. Easy and very tasty. I modified the recipe to my own tastes to give it more spice. I sauteed onions and garlic in 1 tbsp of oil and added some chopped fresh chilli to start with. I then tossed the vegetables through the mixture to coat. Followed the rest of the recipe for the soup to the letter. For the meatballs, I spiced things up by using lean beef mince and flavouring this with the Barbara's Spicy Chicken Breasts spice mix from this site. We loved this one pot, healthy dinner! Fabulous with warmed flat bread.

This recipe is amazing! Makes for a very hearty meal. After reading some of the other posts I added some garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper and used beef cosomme intead of cubes. I also added a can of crushed tomatoes, celery, zucchini and a small handful of rice. Once everything was mixed together and boiling I trasferred it to the oven to stop the rice sticking to the bottom of the pot. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

We loved this recipe, thank you. I made one change - I didn't use meatballs as we don't care for them very much, so I bought Hot Italian Sausage and made them into balls, it was very good.

Very delicious! I made it with salsa verde rather than the regular red salsa and beef broth instead of bouillion cubes. I also topped with some shredded cheese and sour cream. Next time I would be sure to buy a leaner ground beef since 85% made it a bit greasy. Also, it makes way more meatballs than there is broth so I would either add more liquid or less meat. Will definitely make again though. The kids really liked the meatballs!

The soup was good, but next time I think I'll use mild salsa instead of medium. I made cornbread in a cast iron skillet to complement it, and they were great together.

WOW! Not sure why everyone wants to make changes. The whole family really enjoyed this recipe. It sounds too 'unspiced' but for what ever reason it came out perfect! I used Hernadez Medium Salsa & Italian Bread Crumbs then salt & peppered each bowl to taste. This stays way up on the list!

This recipe appealed to me on this dark and dreary day and since I had all the ingredients, I decided to try it. I used a 4qt pot, so adjusted the other ingredients accordingly. Use our local grocery store's brand salsa which added a little spice to the soup. The meatball recipe sounded a little bland, so I seasoned that up also. With a loaf of French bread, this truly hit the spot!

For people on restricted salt diets, use low sodium beef broth instead. The flavor will be great. Use lean meat to reduce the fat content.

Use low sodium beef broth instead of the boullion cubes....Also, throw in any leftover vegies you might have too. Also, we use 1/2 Cup tomato juice (low sodium_and 1/2 Cup water
