  4. Bring a pot of water (about 6 cups) to a rolling boil. Drop tablespoonful of meatball mixture (you can shape with the help of two tablespoons, or you can use your hands) into the boiling water and cook until meatball floats.

  2. Return the cooked meatballs to the soup to reheat the meatballs. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
  3. Turn off heat and serve hot garnished with sliced scallions.
