instead of adding water to the soup i added 4 cups of V-8 juice and gave the soup a tomato base. We really enjoyed this soup this way. Great recipe. It was ez to make. I also added 1/2 c of green pepper and some fresh mushrooms to the ingredients because I had them in the fridge. Tasted great and will definitely make again.

I made it pretty much as directed, except I left the bread crumbs out of the meatballs - to make them closer to a "primal or paleo" recipe. I took it to the Tacoma Catholic Worker and everyone loved it - came back for 2nds and thirds. I will definitely be making this again!<br/>My husband overheard a comment that it tasted like something you'd get at Olive Garden!

I really enjoyed this soup. I made the meatballs fairly small- no more than a mouth full sized and baked them in the oven. I used tomato puree instead of canned tomatoes and replaced some of the water with more tomato puree. At the last minute, I threw in some leftover cheese tortellini. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.

Made this for dinner tonight yummy. It was very easy. I used frozen meatballs instead of making them, and added the parm cheese to the soup. I took the advice from chef 386031 instead of 2 cups of water I used one cup of water and 1 cup of v8 juice. Served with bread styx yummmy. this is a keeper thanks
