Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 3 carrots peeled & chopped
  • 1 12 oz bag trimmed green beans cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 10.75 oz can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 14.75 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes UNDRAINED
  • 1 1/2 lbs frozen meatballs
  • 3/4 cup ditalini pasta

Instructions

  • Add the oil to a heavy bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Once hot add the onions, carrots, celery and beans. Cook, stirring often, just until the veggies begin to soften- about 5 minutes.
  • Add the seasonings, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the broth, soup, tomatoes, and meatballs to the pot. Stir to combine. Let the soup simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the pasta, stirring to combine, and continue simmering another 10 minutes- or until the pasta's al dente.
  • Ladle into bowls, and serve warm!

Notes

  • You can use any kind of meatball you like- turkey, pork, beef, or chicken all taste great in this soup.
  • Frozen vegetables are often easier on busy nights so use them! If using frozen veggies, thaw them first. Then you can add them straight into the soup without cooking first.
  • You can sub any small shaped pasta for the ditalini.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and fresh Parmesan cheese, if desired.
