"Note: For a boost of flavor and spice, add a pinch of dried red pepper flakes to the soup! You may end up with extra meatballs (which is why I didn't stir them all into the soup and instead, served them individually in each bowl of soup). Simply freeze the leftover meatballs to be used another time (perfect in these meatball subs or a remake of this soup)...."
