Meatball & Rice Soup image

This recipe came from the TACA website and is gluten-free. It is also low in sodium. Very easy to make meatballs in advance and freeze them. Sometimes I only use half the meatballs from this recipe, and freeze the other half for another soup recipe. Great way to use the left over rice from Chinese take-out!
