A hearty meatball soup full of vegetables. I use ground veal when making the meatballs, which is a subtler taste. The Original recipe came from a Cookbook called "The International Soup Cookbook", but I have added additional spices to the meatballs and altered it to our tastes.

I had some leftover cooked cabbage,along with some leftover cooked baby carrots that needed to be used up. And so I combined them with some frozen Italian Meatballs, along with a few other things and made what I think is a very good soup. For the Italian Salad Dressing mix, I used Recipe#63812 by BeachGirl. As with any of my recipes, please adjust the seasonings according to your own personal tastes.Submitted to Food.com (a.k.a.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in meatball soup, but you can also use savoy cabbage or red cabbage. Green cabbage has a mild flavor, while savoy cabbage has a slightly sweeter flavor and red cabbage has a more tart flavor.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Brown the meatballs before adding them to the soup. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart in the soup.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Meatball soup with cabbage is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious meatball soup that your family and friends will love.
