For Meatballs:

- Pour a little vegetable oil in frying pan and warm up on low-medium heat.
- Add meatballs (in batches if necessary) and brown on all sides.
- If meatballs are browned but not fully cooked inside, add enough water to nearly cover the meatballs and boil until cooked throughout.

For Soup:
- Bring water, chicken broth and seasonings to slow boil in stockpot.
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook until orzo is of desired firmness.
- Serve with Romano cheese to sprinkle on top.
