Instructions
Place all the soup ingredients except the spinach into a pot and bring to a boil. Lower temperature and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add meatball ingredients into a medium bowl and mix until you can form small balls. Vegetarian meatballs will need to be pan fried in order to keep from disintegrating.
Add a handful of spicy spinach blend and vegetarian meatballs to the soup and serve immediately. Meaty meatballs will have to be cooked in the soup for an additional 20 minutes until the center is no longer pink.
