Thanks for the great recipe! I made the soup for dinner tonight, and doubled the meatball recipe to throw some in the freezer for spaghetti sauce. I used 2/3 lean ground beef and 1/3 93% lean ground turkey and it worked great. I baked them in the oven as suggested.
The only adjustment I plan to make in the future is to thaw the spinach and squeeze it out before adding to the soup next time. My family are not as big fans of spinach as I am and they felt the broth tasted strongly of spinach. I quite liked it, but to mellow the spinach flavor next time, I figure thawing and squeezing it first should mellow it enough for their tastes.
Overall great recipe that I plan to use again, and I am looking forward to trying the bread. You make that stuffed pizza yet, PJ? :)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Glad the soup worked well for you, Jess. No, no pizza yet - I've been waylaid by the gluten-free launch we're working on for March 1. But my deadline for copy is today, so hopefully I'll be back in the kitchen tomorrow. Which reminds me, I'd better buy the meat for the sausage tonight - thanks for the nudge! :) PJH
