Notes

This is the recipe for the meatballs I use They are baked, easy to make and only contain a trace amount of carbs: http://www lowcarbcrock.com/2012/Q2/low-carb- meatb a ll-rec i p e-awesome/.

These meatballs are freezer friendly and great for quick meal and soups etc

This recipe makes about 9 cups soup. Each cup of soup contains approx. 5 g. net carbs and 119 calories

You can use fully cooked store bought meatballs (just thaw them and quarter them before adding).
