Let me be honest, I could eat meatballs every night for dinner.  They are always so delicious and always a hit at my dinner table.  This is my easy weeknight spin on a classic.  So much goodness in every bowl.   And psssst: I didn’t add as much broth to this bowl so you could actually see what’s inside the soup 🙂 .

This recipe serves four.
