Meatball and Veggie Soup
Three things I love: veggies, soup in the Fall, and good ‘ol meatballs! I also love a soup that can be altered and customized to satisfy everyones wants, needs, and desires! Take this soup for example, you can totally get creative! Add in some beans, throw in your favorite veggies or whatever you have on hand, other meat additions- anything goes.

YUM! I’ve come down with an awful head cold and would absolutely love to have some of this right about now! I love soup/chili season and am printing off to make asap!
Oh no!!! Feel better! AND CONGRATS my dear 🙂
Hello Lexi,
A very rich recipe.
I did last week with some friends.
Everyone was very happy.
Thank you and greetings from Spain
Glad you enjoyed!
I made this recipe tonight, and it was delicious! Perfect for a chilly fall evening. I was wondering though, you never specify when to add the kale, zucchini, or beans. Also, do you remove the onions/pepper mixture to cook the meatballs? Mine just fell apart when I tried to stir the mixture all together.
Erin,
I updated that! I added a note about the meatballs. I move the veggies to the side, place them in without stirring for 5 minutes, letting them cook enough, then gently toss and they will stay together 🙂
Awesome, thanks! Can’t wait to make this again. 🙂
So good! Thank you! I just made this for my family (my husband + twin 4 year olds) and everyone loved it! Paired it with Pamela’s GF Drop biscuits and it was a smash hit! Thank you 🙂
Looks divine! How many net carbs does each serving have? Thanks.
Read back in the comments, people have shared!
How many people does this serve?
Depending on portion size, I’d say around 4-6 servings.
Can you do this in a crockpot?
We haven’t tested it at that way. Let us know if you try!
