Reviews
I loved the idea of all those greens and meatballs, but the broth was very, very bland. After browning and simmering the meatballs for so long, they were dry too.
I was hoping by the good reviews we would love this recipe but my family did not enjoy the taste at all.
I've made this repeatedly, substituting ground turkey for ground beef. Easy to make, and everyone loves it.
I really liked this recipe. It was also a favorite of my mom who loves her veggies. I used Acini de Pepe instead of Coucous, since that's all I had and I doctored the meatballs a bit and added a few extra spices. Even though this recipe seemed very basic, it came out quite good.
This soup was sooo tasty and easy to prepare! My whole family (including my three and four year olds) enjoyed this yummy soup. Very healthy, too.
Just loved this delicious soup! The meatballs are delicious!
Made this soup for dinner tonight and my 5 and 7 year old boys loved it! It is a great way to sneak in some yummy, healthy greens. I used beef stock instead of vegetable stock and the flavor was fantastic.
This is my new, favourite recipe. I could not find the couscous, so I added 2 cups cooked barley instead. I recommend making the meatballs as is (they were very good and had a distinct flavour), rather than substituting other meatballs. Excellent! Thanks for a great recipe!!
