This soup was a bit too time-consuming to make. I had to brown the meatballs separately and then simmer the soup for a long time. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out dry and tough. The broth was also a bit too salty. I'll have to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right.
