MEATBALL AND TORTELLINI SOUP



Meatball and Tortellini Soup image

This soup is a mixture of my mother's recipe and my own adjustments. It is perfect for a cold day and is usually even better the next day. Simply put it back on the stove, add a little water if needed, and warm it up. There is a lot of prep, especially because of making the meatballs homemade, but it is so worth it. My very favorite soup and full of good ingredients! My kids and husband love it too! Serve with Parmesan cheese and toasted bread.

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bulk italian sausage
2 lb extra lean ground beef
2 - 15oz can(s) canellini beans or navy beans
2 - 15oz can(s) petite diced tomatoes

1 medium onion, finely diced
2 tsp fresh minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 tsp dried italian seasoning
2 Tbsp beef soup base ( i use l. b. jamisons)
8 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Thoroughly mix ground beef and italian sausage together and shape into bite-sized meatballs. Fry meatballs in large skillet, turning frequently, until browned. Drain fat from meatballs.
  • 2. You may cook this soup in a large crockpot, or in a large kettle on top of the stove.
  • 3. Place the meatballs, beans, tomatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, beef base, italian seasoning, parsley, and water into crockpot, on high heat. (If using a kettle on the stove, cook on medium heat)
  • 4. When soup is simmering in the crockpot (about 2-3 hours), add in the tortellini and the italian vegetables. Soup will need to be brought back up to a good simmer before serving. (If using a kettle, add tortellini and italian vegetables after soup has boiled for about 15 minutes. Return soup to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for about another 30 minutes before serving.)
  • 5. I serve this hearty soup with a nice heated loaf of Italian or French bread, warmed hard rolls, or sometimes garlic toast.

  • Bring chicken stock to a boil. Add sliced carrots and let them boil while making meatballs. Process parmesan and bread crumbs until mostly processed. Add garlic and onions and process a bit. add meat, salt & pepper and process until mostly chunky. Process while adding milk in a stream. Don't overprocess or meatballs will be tough. use a scoop and roll meatballs. You can put directly into hot chicken stock and cook in soup, but I find it better if you roast the meatballs. Put them on a cookie sheet with some spacing. Bake at 400 degree till meatballs are brown and carmelized about 20 minutes. Add Torellini to boiling chicken stock and meatballs once they are cooked. Top with parmesan and serve.
