I made a double batch and was very glad I did. Very flavorful. I needed 1/2 cup of panko crumbs to get the meatballs to stay together, otherwise I was true to the recipe. Next time I will used diced fire roasted tomatoes and add a squeeze of lime just before serving. DH loved it and wants to have it again soon.

This was very tasty but I needed to add some bread crumbs when making the turkeyballs, other wise they would not take the shape of a sphere. But lovely light tasting soup .

This was very tasty. I don't eat pork so I bought vegetarian chorizo, and the recipe still worked great!

This is a keeper recipe which I will make again and again! It went together pretty quickly and was delicious! I tend to make a lot of soup because it works into our busy lifestyle so when the kids saw I was making "soup again" they groaned but they were pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. All four if us felt it was one if our favorite soup recipes.
I wasn't able to buy ground turkey during my shopping trip, so substituted lean ground chicken. I was a bit afraid that this may be too spicy (my daughter doesn't like spicy) but it was well balanced and very flavorful.
