To Gail in NH, I don't know if you will read this at this point or not but I just want to say that the meatballs with cilantro came out great. I think the key is moderation. I have overdone it with the cilantro in some dishes and it just about ruins it. So I can see how some people would hate it. This soup was fantastic. It did make a very large batch so I was able to freeze several containers of it. I have one left that may just become dinner tonight. I too had a bit of trouble with the pasta sucking up the broth, even though I did initially cook it seperately. All I do is add some more broth and it stretches the soup even further.
