Marvelous soup. I used previously made meatballs that I had frozen (about an inch in size) and added fresh mushrooms that I had with small shell pasta. As we like thick soups in the winter I let it simmer on min heat for a couple of hours and it's delicious :D. Made for Photo Tag.

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
