husband gives it 5 stars. I crushed ceasar croutons for bread crumbs. I also baked the meatballs at 350 for 30 minutes before putting in red sauce. If you bake rotate balls 15 minutes. I did not make the soup.

Great! Used just 1 lb of ground turkey and the meatballs turned out great! Also used about 2-3 cups of beef stock and the rest chicken as that is what I had.

GREAT meatballs! Put them in the oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes instead of frying them. Also used turkey instead of beef.

Very good soup. I omitted the tomato paste and store canned tomatoes, using 1 pint of home canned tomatoes. Used hot Italian sausage (Roma). Initially I was doubling the recipe, but when I tired of making the meatballs, I just mixed the sauteed carrots, celery, and onions with the remaining meatball mixture, formed it into a loaf and we had a wonderful meatloaf supper!!

Great soup! I made a few changes b/c of my personal preferences: all beef in the meatballs, 2 cans beef broth plus 1 1/2 cans water and 1 beef bouillon cube, boiled my pasta in the soup, left out additional soup and celery. Will def make this again!

I found this to be an excellent recipe but made a few adjustment's. I used hot Italian sausage in the meatball mix and added cabbage in place of the pasta to give it a more vegetable direction and not be as heavy as it would with pasta. The cabbage really add's to the homemade beef stock.

So glad I found this recipe because we do love soups any time of year. The meatballs are so much tastier than most and I think that is what makes it so special. Thanks for submitting
