LOW-CARB MEATBALL MINESTRONE
This is adapted from a frozen meatball package recipe - I've left out the pasta and added black soy beans in its place. I also use a low-carb frozen meatball that's light on the 'filler': approximately 3 carbs per 6-meatball serving.

- Saute the onion, celery, zucchini, pepper, and eggplant in the oil.
- Add all of the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until vegetables are soft (and meatballs are heated through.)
- erve with grated parmesan cheese.

MINI MEATBALL MINESTRONE
This soup is absolutely delicious! A family favorite, my 4 year old son calls it "Meaty Meatball Yummy Soup". It's packed with healthy veggies, which you can vary according to your family's taste. Don't let the long ingredient list fool you - it is simple and quick to prepare with ingredients you usually have on hand. You can substitute fresh vegetables for the canned; I created this in winter when I had more canned and frozen items on hand than fresh. Leave the meatballs out if you are short on time or want to skip the meat. You can also make the meatballs in advance and freeze them to add later. We like to serve this with a fresh green salad and good multi grain bread.
