Meatball Soup With Cabbage and Parmesan Cheese image

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 followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. I think I might have overcooked the meatballs.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more spices.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but I thought this soup was pretty good. The meatballs were really flavorful and the Parmesan cheese added a nice touch. I would definitely make this soup again, but I might use a different type of vegetable instead of

This soup was just okay. The meatballs were a bit dry and the cabbage was a bit too crunchy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of meatball.
