Koni's Meatball Soup

I got this from Koni. It's fast, easy & good. What more could you ask for. I use the Italian meatballs from Costco. If you make the meatballs from the recipe below I'd add some garlic and Italian seasoning. that would make them more like the Costco meatballs and give them a little more flavor. Also I added a little flour and water to the soup to thicken it a little at the end. Thanks for sharing Koni. I gave some to Natalie the other day when she wasn't feeling well. She wanted the recipe. Here it is.
