Submitted by Lakerdog2

"Haven't tried this yet. Found it in a quick-n-easy soup book. I thought the pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce was interesting and different."

Thank you for posting this. I had that cookbook as well but I've lost it at some point. I used to make this soup all the time. It was a big favorite at office potlucks. I never made enough. No matter how much I took they gobbled it all up. The flavor of the meatballs obviously has an affect on the taste though so make sure you're getting good frozen meatballs. Also, I don't think the grated parmesan cheese is optional. It really adds to the flavor. Serve with a crusty buttered bread too for dipping. :-)

This goes together really fast and is actually quite good! I'll be making it quite often!
