Soup is one of those meals for me that is both filling and satisfying, yet is also emotionally comforting. The season doesn't matter, nor the weather really, although outdoor dampness can definitely spike the urge!

This soup was inspired by a need for something a little lighter as the transition from winter to spring takes shape. But the chill in the air still called for a rich broth and a hearty feel at the same time. The combination of the dark onion flavored broth and the light chicken meatballs is a perfect pairing that left my family wanting seconds and thirds.
