EZCR#72 - ZUCCHINI MEATBALL SOUP

This soup can be considered a quick cook soup but the meatballs are cooked over simmering low heat.  The meatballs are tender and the soup is aromatic and tasty.  It isn’t oil and the zucchini slices are crunchy.
A comfortable, nice soup suitable for all to enjoy over dinner

Kimmy, I love meatball soup. And I also love putting zucchini in my soup but I boil it until the zucchini is soft.
