Sweet Pea Stew!
Olive oil or bacon drippings enough to cover the bottom of 8 quart sauce pan.
1 medium yellow onion diced
2 cloves garlic crushed and minced
Throw this all together on a medium heat... the onions and garlic will begin to get transparent... turn down the heat just a titch.
1 can of diced tomatoes 14.50 ounces
After the onion and garlic are slightly transparent add the tomoatoes to the mix and use the can to measure in 4 cans of water. (you can use beef broth instead if you want)
4 medium sized potatoes... (your choice) peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
Add to pot.
1 lb frozen sweet peas (without the pods of course)
Add to pot.
1/2 lb Tiny meat balls (make your own with your own recipe or use the frozen brand)
Add to pot
Let this all simmer on medium heat for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
Beat two eggs and quickly stir it into the pot.
Serve and add grated Parmesan or Romano cheese season to taste with salt and pepper.
Good cheap and nourishing!
with warm regards.
Tony

Hi Oliver yes CatLind is doing just that (the recipe book!)
I had a soup once in Germany which had tiny meatballs in it and rice and asparagus and probably other stuff (we're going back 20 years ago!) It was gorgeous but I never knew what it was called - do you have any idea's what it could be?!
Tony that looks gorgeous, I have to try it!

Without tempering first, won't adding beaten eggs to a hot pot of soup make it congeal into lumps of scrambled eggs?
It looks great though Tony..I'll be right over. While I'm enroute...make me a pie for dessert. Make it a chocolate cream and Mel will join us. lol

After beating the eggs like a redheaded step child... I pour them into the bubbling pot whilst stirring rapidly... what results are tiny strings of egg that imparts a creamy texture.
Be sure to stir rapidly when adding the eggs.
Substitute red headed step child for chewy if necessary. 
The pie du jour is mock apple.
with warm regards,
Tony

It could be one of the many variants of the cheese-meat-soup, especially if there were mushrooms or leek in it as well.
I'll try to translate my base recipe and post it.

Yeah, I'm going to temper the eggs before putting them in, I can't stir as fast as I used to.

Okay, here's what I found out about tempering eggs (never did it that way before... but I will try it next batch)
Quote:There are times when you add hot eggs to a liquid and they will come out like cooked scrambled eggs. This fine if it is the effect you are going for, as in the case of Chinese Egg Drop Soup. There are other cases, however, when you will want the eggs to add a richness without the "scrambled eggs" consistency. You will first need to temper the eggs in order to achieve this result.
Beat eggs well, then mix them with a small amount of stock or sauce that has been slightly cooled, mixing quickly until completely blended. Then blend this entire mixture back into the stock pot or larger mixture |

OK - pardon my stupidity - but wtf does it mean to "temper" eggs?? 
I put scrambled eggs in my ramen noodles all the time... it's like egg drop soup then... so i can see how you can put them in this soup.

Helen, does this look familiar?
If yes, this is a "wedding-soup".
I'll try to translate the recipe (no promises).

It's spaghetti and meatballs for us tonight. I make huge pots of spaghetti sauce every now and again, and then freeze for a quick meal. I make a mean marinara for not being Italian!!
We had our soup yesterday and thus we have "crusty bread" left over for garlic bread..

Everybody knows that the best Italian chefs are all Irish. We make it better out of spite.

Here's the recipe for the German wedding-soup.
Since my English isn't as good as it should (especially when it comes to cooking related things) any help in improving / hints for improving is welcome.
Ingredients:
1/8l chicken broth
1/8l beef broth
500g asparagus
10g butter
10g sugar
10g margarine (or butter)
250g meat
3 eggs
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
1/2 onion
paprika (powder)
salt
pepper
5 tablespoons cream
2 1/2 tablespoons parsley
rice (the original recipe uses 50g pasta)
This wedding soup is created out of chicken-, meat- and asparagus-broth.
All of these have to be cold (!) before mixing them otherwise the soup will become sour!!!
Cook the rice as usual.
Peel the aspargus and remove the woody ends.
Put the peels and the ends in 1/8l salt-water and decoct them.
Remove the peels and the ends and add the asparagus (cut into pieces).
Add butter, sugar and salt and cook it another 15 min.
Let the asparagus broth get cold !!!
Add the cold (!) chicken and beef broth and heat it up again.
Mix meat, 1 egg, breadcrumbs, paprika, pepper and salt.
Dice the onion and stew them in the margarine.
Mix the stewed onions into the meat-mix and create small meat balls and brew them in salt-water for ~5 minutes.
Create royale from the remaining 2 eggs, the parsley and the cream.
Put the meat balls, the rice and the royale into the soup.
