This soup is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some leftover pork roast and I used it to make the meatballs. The soup was delicious and my family loved it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs fell apart in the soup. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was delicious, but the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I will add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the soup turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of pork and it was still very flavorful. I also added some extra vegetables to the broth, such as carrots and celery.
