Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

how to serve Tender Meatball Soup

Serve Tender Meatball Soup hot, either in bowls or in large soup cups. You can sprinkle some extra Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor. This soup goes well with crusty bread or a fresh side salad. Enjoy it with family or friends for a comforting meal.

how to store Tender Meatball Soup

To store Tender Meatball Soup, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to store it for a longer period, you can freeze it. Just make sure to leave some space in the container, as liquids expand when frozen. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stove.

tips to make Tender Meatball Soup

Use lean ground beef to keep the soup light but still flavorful.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
Make meatballs ahead of time and freeze them. This way, you can prepare the soup quickly on busy days.
Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add more spices if you prefer a stronger flavor.

variation

You can easily switch up the recipe by using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Adding different types of pasta, like small shells or macaroni, can also change the texture of the soup.

FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen vegetables can work well in this soup. Just add them in during the last few minutes of cooking.

How can I make this soup spicy?

Add crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños when you sauté the vegetables for a spicy kick.

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?

Absolutely! Just brown the meatballs and sauté the vegetables first, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
