This was given to me by a dear friend and is now my favorite soup. You can substitute Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the Asiago cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll try making it again with less red pepper flakes next time.

This soup was just okay. The meatballs were a bit bland and the broth was a bit too salty.

The meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the soup was still very good. I'll try adding more bread crumbs to the meatballs next time.
