| Easy Italian Meatball Soup |
| This
is a hardy, fast meal that can be ready in about 40 minutes since it primarily relies on
frozen ingredients that are ready to be added with no chopping except for the onion.
It is tasty served with bread or rolls and fruit or warm Brownie
Pudding for dessert. |
| Use a large Dutch
oven or other large heavy soup pot.
Sauté |
| 1/2 C. coarse
chopped onion ( in ) |
1
and 1/2 TABLESPOONS butter/margarine for a couple of minutes
|
| ADD TO THE ONIONS: |
|
1 - 14.5
to 15 oz can of beef broth
1/2 C. water |
1
- 15 oz can of Italian style stewed tomatoes with the juice (I cut the pieces
up a little bit in the pot with the side of my spoon)
1 pkg. beef stew seasoning (1.5 oz size) |
| Bring
liquids, tomatoes and seasoning packet up to a boil, then add: |
| 2 - 16
oz. packages of frozen classic mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas and green beans) |
|
4 oz. of thin
sliced pepperoni
2 lbs. of frozen Italian style beef meatballs |
| Reduce
heat to keep simmering and cook for about 30 minutes with the lid on. Check and
stir about every 10 minutes. This
is the basic recipe. You can adjust any of the ingredients to use more or less to
suit your families particular tastes. (Don't like corn? Get frozen pkgs.
of green beans, peas and carrots instead or try some of the other vegetable combinations.) |
