Terrific, added diced potatoes and just before serving half a cup of frozen peas and half a cup of frozen corn - 22 Apr 2015
So good! Used all fat free/low sodium chix broth instead of adding water. Added sauteed onion and garlic to the meatballs as well as a pinch of nutmeg which I love in ground chicken. I also added sliced zucchini and 1 can of small white beans to the soup. Instead of baking the meatballs, I dropped them into the soup and let them cook in the broth. I also omitted the egg in the meatball mixture, didnt think it needed it. Loved this soup, reminded me of Italian Wedding soup. I'm always looking for ways to use ground chicken or turkey, and this is a great recipe. Thanks! - 25 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
A tasty soup-- good over rice or noodles. I omitted the parsnips because I don't care for them much, and I increased garlic. - 20 Sep 2000 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
