Pasta Spinach Meatball Soup

By 1 Comment

Soup is such an easy dinner idea. It is perfect for a busy weeknight or a weekend when you’re staying in.

The weather is perfect right now in Texas for easy soup recipes!

Let me share this easy meatball soup recipe with you. It is divine and cooks quickly. (Looking for more easy recipes for your family? Make sure you check ours out. There are many!)

I serve it with saltine crackers, you could certainly make a batch of cornbread.

This easy meatball soup recipe is perfect for busy families!

Ingredients:

  • 1 batch of the best meatball recipe ever, cooked
  • 48 oz chicken broth
  • 25 oz jar spaghetti sauce
  • 10 oz frozen spinach
  • 13 oz can cannellini beans, undrained
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 8-10 baby carrots chopped
  • 1-2 c ditalini pasta (you decide how much)
  • 1 t Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, for topping

If you have your batch of homemade meatballs made then this comes together quickly. I suggest making a large batch and freezing them in 1-2 dozen portions.

I used one whole batch in our soup, which was about 30 meatballs.

You could also use frozen meatballs if you want.

How to use homemade meatballs for soup or spaghetti!

In a large soup pot add your beef meatballs, frozen spinach, onion, can of beans and carrots.

Then add the jar of spaghetti sauce and chicken broth.

Add the Italian seasoning.

Cook over medium high heat and bring to a boil.

Stir occasionally. You don’t want anything to stick to the bottom.

After cooking for about 20 minutes, add a cup or so of water if you need to.

Add the pasta. I did two cups.

Stir and cook about 9-15 minutes, or until the pasta is done.
