A little bit of this thick and hearty soup goes a long way, so it's terrific to take to potlucks. My husband, Patrick, and I enjoy this on cold winter nights. -Janice Thompson, Lansing, Michigan

This soup was a disappointment. The meatballs were tough and the broth was bland. I won't be making this again.

I've tried many meatball soup recipes, and this one is by far the best. The meatballs are so tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and hearty. I highly recommend this recipe.

This soup was a little bland for my taste, but it was still good. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. The meatballs are so good and the broth is so flavorful. I love that I can make it in my slow cooker, too.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
