Italian Meatball Soup


Italian Meatball Soup is one of our favorite new recipes. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is definitely worth a shot. Serve with Pesto Pitas.


What you need:
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup frozen chopped onion (frozen chopped onion is a lifesaver!! Keep this on hand in freezer for other recipes!)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (32 oz) boxes low sodium chicken broth
1 (16 oz) package frozen Italian Style meatballs, baked according to package directions
1 (15 oz) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup ditalini pasta (UNCOOKED)
1 (6oz) bag fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese


What you need to do:
In a large dutch oven, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth, meatballs, and beans; bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add pasta, reduce heat, and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is tender. Add spinach and cheese; cook for 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted. Serve with Pesto Pitas and you are in for a treat. :)
