Italian Meatball Stew

A friend of mine actually made this up one night while low on food. I altered it a bit, but its very tasty!!! Especially for a chilly night! This is also very easily altered depending on your taste! You can use beef instead of ground turkey, add any veggies of your choice, and make it thicker by adding more tomato soup too!
