So good! Used all fat free/low sodium chix broth instead of adding water. Added sauteed onion and garlic to the meatballs as well as a pinch of nutmeg which I love in ground chicken. I also added sliced zucchini and 1 can of small white beans to the soup. Instead of baking the meatballs, I dropped them into the soup and let them cook in the broth. I also omitted the egg in the meatball mixture, didnt think it needed it. Loved this soup, reminded me of Italian Wedding soup. I'm always looking for ways to use ground chicken or turkey, and this is a great recipe. Thanks! - 25 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
A tasty soup-- good over rice or noodles. I omitted the parsnips because I don't care for them much, and I increased garlic. - 20 Sep 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
We really enjoyed this, and the smell while it was cooking was unbelievable! This is a great summer soup, because it feels light while still filling you up. We followed the recipe exactly, which by the way, doesn't mention noodles in the ingredients list, so make sure you have some cooking while the soup's simmering. It also doesn't mention to remove the bay leaves before serving, which being in a hurry, I also forgot to do If you have any leftovers, they reheat VERY well, my husband says even better than the first time around. - 17 Jun 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
