Notes

  • Frozen meatballs and vegetables make this soup convenient for busy days.
  • The tomato-based broth provides a rich and comforting flavor.
  • Choose a pasta shape that cooks well in soups and holds onto the broth.
  • Add Parmesan cheese just before serving for extra savory flavor.
  • Leftover soup may thicken as the pasta absorbs more liquid.
