This was not exactly what I was expecting but it was really good! I had to use coriander seeds instead of roots. I wasn't sure why the spices were set aside after draining so I added them back to the pot. I did find the meatballs super soft and next time would add something to firm them up a tad. Also, next time I may play with adding veggies to the pot to make it more soup like. "Yum!

This was wonderful - made a few changes - skipped some of the items that were not available to me such as the coriander roots. I used 3 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups water - added the chicken balls to the broth mixture along with a package of orzo and later on added a package of frozen peas. This soup became more of a hearty soup than I originally thought it was -- but it was good! Thanks for sharing!
