A simple and satisfying dish that brings together the goodness of meatballs, hearty vegetables, and flavorful seasonings. Start by adding 2 bags of frozen turkey meatballs to a large pot. These pre-made meatballs provide a convenient and delicious protein base for your soup.
Chop an onion and add it to the pot, creating a savory foundation for the soup. Include a bag of new potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces or cut in half if they are smaller in size. These potatoes add a comforting and substantial element to the soup. Incorporate a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, such as corn, green beans, and carrots, providing a colorful and nutritious blend. Add a can of tomato paste and a can of diced tomatoes, enhancing the soup with rich tomato flavor.
Pour in bone broth, choosing either beef or chicken based on your preference. Include 2 cloves of minced garlic or 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, infusing the soup with aromatic goodness.
Season the soup with 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed, keeping in mind that there's salt in the meat and broth. Simmer the Easy Meatball Vegetable Soup until the meatballs are heated through, the vegetables are tender, and the flavors have melded together.
Serve this delightful soup in bowls, enjoying the warmth and comfort it brings to your table. It's an easy and wholesome meal for any occasion!
