vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Using homemade broth enhances flavor without added preservatives.

alphabet pasta

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pasta

Whole wheat pasta adds fiber, while elbow macaroni is often less expensive.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatballs.

Shape them into small balls and pan sear until the meatballs have a dark brown crust, about 2 minutes on each side.

Take out the meatballs and set aside.

In the same pot, combine the soup ingredients and stew for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

Using a blender, puree the veggies until the soup becomes a sauce.

Add in the pasta and meatballs and simmer for 5 minutes.

Top it off with cheese and enjoy!
