To me, this is a very comforting, filling, homey soup. I especially like cooking it during winter months and serving it with hot rolls, bread or muffins. -Deborah Taylor, Inkom, Idaho

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit with my family. The meatballs are so tender and the broth is so flavorful. I love to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes.

This soup was just okay. The meatballs were a little dry and the broth was bland. I probably won't make this again.
