I made this yesterday. I did take pictures, which will likely not be posted until next winter (*waves to Byoffer*).I did not make any changes from the original. I used 90/10 beef. I normally buy 92/8 or even 95/5 when I'm lucky. They were out of both and 90/10 was the leanest. I think I would have liked more onion and garlic. My meat yielded 45 balls. *obligatory giggle* I think I could have gotten 50. I used real butter - about a tablespoon. I also used three kinds of broth: 1/2 can of Campbells left over from another recipe, 3 cans of Swanson 50% less sodium, and 1 cardboard carton of some I picked up from Whole Foods. So I had a lot of broth. I like broth. I also used an entire bag of frozen green beans.
This has now moved up to Number 1 on DH's OTCC list. He ate two bowls for lunch. I also have plenty for lunch this week.
Next time I will use mushrooms - I just didn't have any. And I might just try a bag of mixed veggies instead of just green beans.
Great Soup Buggy!
