This soup is easy to make and so delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great. I also added some chopped spinach to the soup for extra nutrients. Thanks for the recipe!

I made this soup last night and it was amazing! The meatballs were so moist and flavorful, and the broth was rich and hearty. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.
