(Like Albondagus Soup)

Anyone have any ideas?? Any Recipes??

And are the Meatless Meatballs any good???

I like them. Sometimes I just put them in a crockpot with some soy sauce. Don't have any recipes, but I imagine you could use them in any meatball recipe you can find online.

I have a very good meatball soup simple recipe that I found in a heart-healthy recipe book a long time ago.

Make mothball-sized meatballs (appetizing, I know, but it's all I can think of) from your ground meat of choice and brown them in a frying pan, then pop them into the oven to bake more of the grease out. Make sure to drain the grease at each stage if you use beef. There is no need to use egg or bread, just meat- browning the outside is what will hold them together.

In a large soup pot, start 1-2 large cans of low sodium tomato juice (I just read lables to pick a brand) and add veggies: carrots, celery, zucchini, whatever you like. Then season only with dill.

You will find that all canned tomato products have some salt and the dill replaces the need for any added salt or other seasonings. Add the meatballs when you are ready to serve or they may fall apart.

This is simple and tastes like it takes much more effort than it is. Sorry about the exact measurements- I learned to make the recipe the way I like it and promptly threw the "real" version away. Fresh dill is the best- a little goes a long way as it is very potent. This is my favorite farmers' market recipe.

It freezes well but I usually freeze the soup and meatballs separately.
