Hearty Turkey Meatball Soup
Every Italian-American family I know seems to have its own version of meatball soup. This recipe is based on my family’s version. —Christie Ladd, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Excellent. Wouldn’t change a thing.

This was really good, hearty soup! I served it for lunch with homemade whole wheat dinner rolls. Delicious winter meal! I only had 2 cans of chicken broth so I substituted 1 can of vegetarian vegetable broth for the third can. Then I sprinkled in some powdered chicken bouillon to add back the chicken broth flavoring. It worked great! I also used Jennie-O 99% lean ground turkey. My 12 year old son really liked this soup!
love it
I've made this twice, with ground turkey and with leftover turkey, both were excellent. I doubled the pasta because we wanted a heartier dish. Even the kids ate it up.
This is a great recipe. I added a can of diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings to my version and it was great. Very healthy and tasty!
Even my 3 year old loves this soup. Super yummy! I make it with turkey sausage, just remove the casing.
Very tasty. I omit the pasta (I think it gets too mushy when reheated), and add cabbage and more broth. I put leftovers in baggies and freeze to take to work.
This was wonderful on a cold night! Easy to make and delicious. I added additional broth, I like a "brothier" soup, but other than that, wouldn't change a thing! Leftovers reheated well and tasted even better!
very good, although once you chop everything it takes longer than 30 minutes to prep. Freezes well. I would like TOH to add this to recipes, I make soup on Sundays and freeze for during the week.
