Comfort Soup (Spinach & Meatballs) image

This simple soup is a savory dish passed on to me by a childhood friend's mother. She raised 6 kids and knew how to please a hungry crowd (the boys are all over 6'5") on a tight budget in a hurry! Soup is comforting but I have found this one to be especially soothing to body and soul. UPDATE: the meat juices are what make the flavor of the broth, so if the beef is too lean (or not enough is used), there won't be an oily sheen to the soup, which is what gives it the wonderful taste.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the meatballs. It was still very flavorful and delicious.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
