Today I bring you a lamb meatball and rice soup, perfect for the whole family, because who doesn’t like meatballs? Whether beef, chicken, turkey, or lamb (like the ones we’ll make today), there’s something about those little balls of ground meat that makes them irresistible! Meatballs are an excellent way for children to eat meat. The combination of lamb meatballs, vegetables, and rice makes this soup both whole-some and delicious.
