This is a wonderful comforting soup. I followed your instructions exactly. I cooked the meatballs seperately before adding to the soup (just a personal preference in doing it that way). Wonderful flavor and what a nice tribute to your mother and Mrs Tagglieri for sharing this recipe with us. How very nice of you. This is definitely a "keeper".

This made up into a wonderfully delicious soup which I highly recommend to soup lovers. I used the optional soup bone which made for that great old fashioned taste. I did brown my meatballs in the oven before adding. The aroma had our mouths watering. Served with crusty rolls this made for a delicious evening meal. Thank you and your mother for sharing Mrs Tagglieri's Meatball soup!
