This is a soup I came up with a while ago, but just couldn't think of a name. Even the kids like it.

Man, this sounds good, Laurie! Kind of a chili-like thing sans the beans. ;') I think hubby would love this too!


MMMMM! sounds comforting too :D


Yum! What a great idea! I'm trying this one for sure! :D


This sounds sooo good! So we just roll the chopmeat into balls and drop it in the soup? Don't have to add anything to the chopmeat? I love this idea!!!

P.S.-perfect name for this recipe!


Nice soup. ^5 :)


Sounds great! Saving this one.


Sounds wonderful! I know I"ll like this one.


Oh yeah...sounds great..:)


Sounds Great! Nice recipe! 5! Thanks, Dooley


Saving this recipe! Sounds absolutely delicious!


I made this tonight and it was pretty good! The only thing I would do differently next time is to also add the taco seasoning to the chopmeat before rolling them into balls, as well as adding it to the soup. They were just a little bland for my taste. Us Italians are used to lots of seasoning in our meatballs! LOL! I also used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt and I sauteed all the veggies in the olive oil before adding the crushed tomatoes. I will definitely be trying this one again! I added my photo!


Sounds like a must try. And I love the color of it.
