For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the soup. Add other vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, or celery for a more complex and nutritious soup. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra layer of flavor. Adjust the amount of water depending on your desired soup consistency. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the meatball mixture.
