Easy, hearty one-bowl meal; served it with some homemade Italian bread, and it went quickly before everyone was out the door for their evening activities.

This recipe is very good! I added fresh red peppers and tomatoes instead of frozen and also used orzo instead of pasta. I added some herbs and spices and it was delicious!

My hubby was craving something like this so we tried this recipe. It turned out well. We all liked it. Even my 2 yr old that's on a healthy food strike. :) It makes 8 BIG servings! I used 1/2 sausage & 1/2 grnd turkey for the meatballs. Instead of adding the meatballs to the soup to cook, which I knew would make the soup really greasy, I broiled them, patted them with paper towels to absorb more of the grease, and then put them in once the main soup was ready. It really turned out yummy.

This recipe was a plesant suprise: I followed the recipe fairly strictly, only using slightly different veggies (just what I had in my freezer and cupboard). The meat I used was ground sirloin because that's what I had. And I put a little italian seasoning in the balls. I sent some to my mom to put in dad's lunch, and she called and asked for the recipe. Boyfriend and I liked it too.

I made this last week and am still having leftovers! Wonderful with some french bread. I substituted sausage meat for the ground beef, as that's all I had. still totally delish. I added canned corn, amongst other veggies just to clear out my pantry a little; it was soo delicious but I almost needed a larger pot as I was bordering on overflowing my big soup pot! Take into consideration what fresh vs canned veggies you may be adding to the soup. The canned stuff should be added more towards the end of cooking, because they're already quite soft and done. Everything that I put in that was fresh, was put in towards the beginning to give it more cook time.

I LOVE this soup! I make a few changes though to suit my taste and to simplify the recipe even further - I don't bother chopping carrots or using the canned beans because my favorite frozen vegie mix already has lima beans, green beans, carrots and corn in it. I just use 2 bags of that, and one can of tomatoes. (Diced, fire-roasted is what I usually have on hand). I use tiny shells instead of alphabet pasta, and I add a couple of teaspoons of red pepper flakes and a couple of dashes of Magy. For the meatballs, I substitute ground turkey for beef, and I use seasoned bread crumbs. It is a bit time-consuming to make the bite-size meatballs, so if you're feeling impatient you can make them bigger. Or, if you like to cook with your kids - they might like rolling the meatballs - mine do. This is so good, nutritious, low fat and easy, I made it every few weeks. I highly recommend this recipe as a family staple.

Made this today and it was great! Read reviews and added what vegetables I had on hand - corn, green beans, celery, green peppers, peas (you really can't mess that part up). Added some red wine, too. Because of the grease factor from other reviews, I used 1/2 ground turkey and ground beef - I also added italian spices. My 13 year old son said it was good and that his friends would like it, too, with the meatballs! Might try cheese tortellini next time instead of plain pasta...

Really tasty. I would call it meatball stew though because there was not a lot of liquid. Also use a really big pot. The recipe barely fit in the biggest pot I have.

YUM! I subbed beef broth for chicken and also added some V8 for flavor (an old soup trick my MIL taught me), and used pasta I had on hand. I took off one star because I found the soup needed a lot more liquid than called for - I kept adding water as it cooked. This one's a keeper!

This was good and something I will make again. Very hearty. However, there is no way to form meatballs out of that combination - either you need 2 eggs (which is what I did) or you need to cut both the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in half. I'll probably add some spices to the meatballs next time, e.g. onion, garlic powder, oregano, worcestershire. All the packages of mixed veggies that I had on hand already included carrots and green beans, so I used frozen peas and frozen corn to make the specified amount of veggies. I made the specified amount of pasta but felt it needed a bit more, but that's my personal taste. Overall excellent and easy to tweak. Thanks for sharing this!!

This was really good soup. I was in a hurry after working all day and then going to the grocery store. I wanted a meatball soup and found this recipe. I had frozen, premade meatballs. Only needed 1/2 the broth and left out the green beans. I added mixed vegetables with lots of carrots. Used a bowtie pasta that appealed to my toddler. It came out so good my husband and my toddler daughter loved it! I will do this again. Maybe next time I will do the meatballs myself. But, I got to say with the frozen meatballs, start to finish a half hour! Wonderful.

Very good soup! I made the meatballs as directed, doubling it so I would have extra meatballs for another time. I baked them in the oven to minimize the grease in the soup, and they were delicious. For the soup, I used the broth and seasonings as called for, only changing a few of the veggies to suit our preference. I pretty much followed the recipe though, and it was a hit with everyone. Seriously yummy soup and one I will make again. Thank you!

This was really a very good soup. Only thing I didn't like about it, and what is keeping me from the 5th star was the grease from cooking the meatballs in the prepared soup. Next time, I will brown them on the side and add them to the soup, to dispense the grease. BUT! my sons and husband really enjoyed it...good meal for my twin toddlers. If others are interested: I added a cup of V-8 juice to the soup, and also added 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, as well as two teaspoons of brown sugar to the meatball mixture. Next time, I will add diced potatoes instead of the pasta.

Absolutely wonderful! My husband is not a huge vegetable fan, but he ate this great soup, even though it truns out chock full of veggies. My daughter (1 1/2) was crazy about it. I made it just as the instructions said, but if you want more of a soup texture, add some more liquid. I liked the way it turned out, thick and very hearty. Can't wait to make it again.
