Step-by-Step Instructions for One-Pot Easy Meatball Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 sliced carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks. Sauté these vegetables for about 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and the onion turns translucent.
  2. Next, stir in 2 to 3 diced potatoes and cook them with the sautéed vegetables for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Pour in 6 cups of chicken or beef broth into the pot, bringing it to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the broth is simmering, add a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes and your desired meatballs. Stir well and let everything cook together for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Season your One-Pot Easy Meatball Soup with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the seasoning in, letting it meld with the soup for about 2 minutes.
  6. For an extra boost of nutrition, consider stirring in a couple of handfuls of fresh greens like spinach or kale just before serving.
