Frozen packaged meatballs make this soup easy to prepare. It also has frozen spinach, baby carrots, mushrooms, & purchased 3-cheese tortellini.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts beef or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 14-16 frozen prepared meatballs
  • 14-16 baby carrots, halved lengthwise
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh, sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 of a (10 oz.) package frozen, chopped spinach
  • 1 box (9 oz.) frozen or refrigerated prepared three-cheese tortellini
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
 
Method

In a large saucepan, bring broth and seasoning to a boil over high heat. Add meatballs to broth; reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, microwave spinach package for several seconds and then cut in half, reserving remaining spinach for another use. Add carrots, mushrooms and spinach; cover again and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes longer. Finally add tortellini and cook over low heat, uncovered, for 6 minutes. Ladel into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.

 

Notes: This is a nice change from vegetable soup, and is very easy to prepare.

 

Number of Servings: 4-6
