Ok, so I had this leftover meatloaf that no one was going to eat [no one but me likes meatloaf] and I needed to use it up, so I came up with this soup, and it turned out pretty good. I'm really just posting it so I remember how to make it [ha-ha] if you make it, feel free to sub prepared meatballs as well, and to mix up the veggies as to what you have on hand. It makes a lot, but it does freeze okay.

Use a variety of vegetables in your soup to add flavor and nutrients. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.

To make the soup thicker, add some cornstarch or flour to the broth.
Serve the soup with a side of bread, crackers, or salad.
For a more flavorful soup, use homemade broth instead of store-bought.
Add some herbs and spices to the soup to taste, such as thyme, basil, oregano, or rosemary.

Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.
