Italian Meatball Soup – Polpettine in Brodo is an Italian classic meaty soup that is a entire meal in a single bowl. Every ingredient that goes into this meal merge together to make a perfect creation. This is an ideal winter warmer and perfect comfort food. I normally serve this with Garlic Bread for a main dish or on its own for a starter. It adds an extra texture but also for the dunking factor. The fact that you can cook this recipe in only 20 minutes means you can have it even when in a rush. This is one of those dishes my children and grandchildren adore.
