Loved this recipe. The meatballs turned out perfect though I would make them even smaller next time! I added extra oregano + red pepper flakes and simmered longer but otherwise fantastic as is. I too cooked the pasta separately and added per bowl of soup.
I really liked the taste of this soup, but the meatballs didn't turn out. I think I either need to make them bigger or just use frozen like another reviewer. I also had issues with my potatoes being cooked all the way so definitely cook for a little bit longer. Great tasting soup though!!! We will be making this again.
Loved this recipe! Super tasty. I cooked pasta separately so it didn't soak up all the liquid.
I have made this recipe several times and it is a yummy soup. I could eat it every day. I usually don't bother to make the meatballs from scratch - I just thaw some frozen ones. I also find that it needs to cook a little longer than the suggested time or the potatoes don't get cooked all the way through. Must be my diced potatoes are bigger than the recipe creators. But this is definitely worth trying!
