For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a separate pan before adding them to the soup. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a small portion of it with an immersion blender before adding the spinach and basil. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef in the meatballs.
