Italian Turkey Meatball Soup

"The perfect low-fat comfort soup on a cold winter's day. I improvised this from looking at Italian Sausage Soup recipes. My husband and guests couldn't stop raving about it. I used Roasted Garlic diced tomatoes (Italian flavor would work) and Flame Broiled frozen Turkey meatballs from Trader Joe's."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a Spanish instructor at a community college in the foothills S.E. of Sacramento, California. I learned my love of cooking and experimenting in the kitchen from my father when I was a child and continue to cook and try out new recipes. I love to read just about everything (except for predictable romance novels), including cookbooks.
