Pork and Meatball Soup

I found this recipe in Saveur.  We got 4 servings out a half a pound of ground pork.  And they were delicious, too. 
Romanian Meatball Soup


The recipe calls for common, i.e. cheap ingredients like onion, carrot, celery, canned tomatoes, etc.   It also calls for 2 Tablespoons of paprika.  I use 1/2 t. hot paprika, 1 T. smoked paprika, and 2 t. regular paprika.  The hot paprika (be careful) gives the soup a lot of zing.  Red peppers were on sale at the market, so this was an excellent week to make the soup.  The rice gave the meatballs a nice texture.  We thought this was a keeper.
