We love this soup. I usually quadruple the meatball ingredients to freeze the meatballs for later. (roll the meatballs and place on a cookie sheet in freezer - when frozen, pop them into a freezer bag). A tip: make sure to use long grain rice. I made once with short grain rice and it absorbed all the liquid and became mush instead of soup.
