Are you looking for a hearty soup to warm you up this winter? This meatball and tomato soup is perfect! It's a classic dish that's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. The soup is traditionally made with beef or pork meatballs, but feel free to use whatever ground meat you have on hand.
