Comfort Soup (Spinach & Meatballs) image

This simple soup is a savory dish passed on to me by a childhood friend's mother. She raised 6 kids and knew how to please a hungry crowd (the boys are all over 6'5") on a tight budget in a hurry! Soup is comforting but I have found this one to be especially soothing to body and soul. UPDATE: the meat juices are what make the flavor of the broth, so if the beef is too lean (or not enough is used), there won't be an oily sheen to the soup, which is what gives it the wonderful taste.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach that I don't know what to do with, and this soup is the perfect solution.

I was a little hesitant about the spinach meatballs, but they turned out to be delicious. They were so light and fluffy, and they really added a unique flavor to the soup.
