  2. Heat oil in large non-stick skillet at medium-high. Cook meatballs until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. Heat broth to a boil in large saucepan. Add meatballs and carrots. Reduce heat to low,cover and simmer 20 minutes,stirring occasionally.

Recipe Tips

* If using rice,simmer for a further 5 to 10 minutes until it is tender,in Step 4.

Meatballs may be fully cooked and kept refrigerated for up to a day in advance – or for up to a month in the freezer; either way saves time for when you want a wholesome soup on the table quickly.

    My version of Hearty Italian Meatball Soup

    This is a simple to make soup and is good just the way it it written. I wanted more body to this soup so I added 2 cups fresh green beans, sliced, 1 cup diced onions, an extra 1/4 cup Orzo, 1-1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce and 2-1/2 cups of water. I re-adjusted the seasoning and the recipe turned out very well. Tony S.
