Tips

This soup stores fairly well in the freeze. I make a batch and freeze half of it in portion sized containers so I have grab and go soup for work.


Directions

Make the meatballs first: combine and mix ingredients thoroughly. Form meatball and roll between your palms (otherwise they will fall apart in the soup). set aside

In a large pot, combine soup base ingredients together -- except for zucchini -- bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add meatballs to the soup, making sure that it is slightly boiling so that the meatballs cook quickly. cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add zucchini and cook for final 10 minute.
