Notes
For extra flavor and to ensure that the meatballs hold their shape, consider browning them in a skillet before adding them to the soup.
Use homemade broth if possible. While store-bought broth works fine, using homemade beef broth will add an extra depth of flavor to your soup.
Adjust seasoning gradually. Start with less salt and pepper and adjust as needed.
