How do you make Meatball Soup?

First in a large heavy stockpot or Dutch oven heat a little olive oil over medium heat.  Add the chopped onions, carrots, celery and green beans.  Cook for about 7-8 minutes or until slightly soft and fragrant. Now add the spices and continue cooking for 2 minutes stirring constantly.

Pour in the beef broth, tomato sauce, fire roasted tomatoes and meatballs. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Let everything simmer for about 7-10 minutes.  Finally add the pasta and cook for an additional 10 minutes.   Serve promptly so the pasta does not overcook.

Recipe notes and helpful tips for Meatball Soup

• You can use fresh or frozen turkey, beef, pork or chicken meatballs.  They all taste good in the soup.
• I prefer fresh vegetables but frozen can be used in a pinch.
• Substitute chicken broth if you using ground turkey.
• Canned fire roasted tomatoes are tomatoes charred over an open flame before they are diced and canned.  They can be found at your local grocery store with the other canned tomatoes.
• If you are going to freeze or store any of this soup for later consumption remove the portion that you are going to save for a later date before adding the pasta.  Hold back a proportionate amount of pasta and add it at the time that you reheat the soup.
• Any small pasta will work like Mini Farfalle, ditalini, acini de pepe or orzo.
• For added flavor add 1-2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan Cheese to each soup bowl.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
