Awfully darn tasty. I did not use as much liquid as called for, and added fresh parsley, bay leaves and more pepper and salt in meatballs. Even hubby and kids liked, that in itself is a miracle!!

My family loves this recipe and I have passed it on to my friends. I do however not add the mixed vegetables. I do use ALL bullion for ease. They look forward to having this soup! EMB

When I was a child my Grandmother used to make "meatball soup." I have asked her numerous times for the recipe, but she could never tell me because it was a "kitchen sink" soup. Well this soup tasted just like I remember it! I thought it needed more broth, so I added 2 more cups of water to it. I also added 2 cups of celery. This made for a lot of veggies! Also, 1 lb of meat may be a lot. I should have made the meatballs a bit smaller, but I ended up with about 60 meatballs the size I made them. (I also added garlic powder to them) My meatballs came out a bit dry, so next time I will add an extra egg. Only other thing is this makes a lot of soup, so get ready to freeze batches. Thank you Judy Henry, this is going into my recipe box and will be made every winter!!!

Anyone who doesn't rave over this soup must have done something wrong. Our family doesn't usually love soup so I don't make it often but decided to give this a whirl after ordering something similar at a restaurant. I made a few changes. I added cubed red potatoes, diced tomatoes instead of stewed tomatoes, onions, baby bella mushrooms, two cloves of garlic, basil and a bay leaf. Topped each bowl with parmesean cheese. It was FANTASTIC!! You can really add just about anything you like to a recipe like this. I also used elbow macaroni because it was all I had on hand. The aroma was so wonderful. My husband wasn't excited when he saw that I was making soup for dinner but he quickly changed his mind after the first bite. He went back for thirds. Even my kids who are picky eaters asked for more. To date this is the absolute BEST recipe I've found on this site and I've tried many!! Thanks for sharing this. I'll make it over and over. Very easy to make too!!

Since I'm on a low carb lifestyle I didn't try however my husband and 3 children (world's pickiest eaters) were very positive about it. I used canned vegetables (corn, baby carrots, Leisure peas, green beans) instead of frozen since they prefer this type of vegetable and it came out great. I served it with cheese bread. Very good meal

This makes a pretty tasty soup, but I had to make some adjustments based on what I had on hand. Instead of dried onion soup mix, I used 1 cup each of chopped fresh onions and celery, slowly sauteed over low heat for 10 minutes in 1 T. oil and then added 4 beef bouillon cubes along with the water. I substituted beef broth for the chicken broth, a can of diced tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes, and then left out the canned green beans because I didn't have any. I also added a cup of chopped cabbage to add some more fiber to the soup. I reduced the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in the meatballs to 1/2 cup each (otherwise the meatballs would be all filler) and added 1/2 tasp. of Italian seasoning. I thought it needed more seasoning when it was done, so I added some dried basil and oregano to it. I also added extra beef broth to balance out the extra veggies I put in. This is a good, hearty basic recipe that you can adjust depending on the veggies, broth and seasoning you have on hand.

I used premade frozen meatballs for this recipe and medium pasta shells instead of the alphabet pasta. Wow was this ever so good! Everyone ate it up and I got lots of compliments and asked to make it again for the weekend! LOL
