ITALIAN STYLE, TURKEY MEAT-BALL SOUP
My husband just loves this stuff. In the picture shown, I used Kale instead of Nappa Cabbage. I had some extra Kale that I needed to use. My husband said he liked it much better with the Kale. I'll post this with Nappa cabbage in the ingredients list and use which ever you like best, but I have to admit, the Kale is quite nice in this soup!
