Notes
You can make the meatballs ahead of time!
Mix and roll the meatballs up to 24 hours ahead of time. Still add them to the soup one at a time so they're not all over each other.
You may need to add an extra cup of broth or water if you boil for longer to make up for lost liquid.
You can have dumplings and noodles! Dumpling wrappers can be found in most grocery store. Just follow the package directions for filling and folding. Cook them them the same way in the soup as you would the meatballs.
